Dear Tom and Natisha,
I heard of Ellen's passing very late through a member of the UF philosophy department, and only saw the obituary today (May 10). I am very sorry for your loss. Ellen was a very good person and colleague. She always welcomed me in her office and home in Gainesville. I also visited her in Massachusetts. I still have the pair of Birkenstock sandals I bought at a small store where she took me in 1993! I also remember her big poodle Zoe who was full of life. In the last years after she moved to D.C. I would have a chat with her at the Eastern division meetings of the APA. She was a great lady. Glad that you could be with her to the end.
Best wishes,
Ofelia
