Not sure what to say?

On this lovely, cold day in New Jersey, we are sending our good wishes and warm memories of Ellen to her family and friends. Love never dies. Paul and Terry Cooper

As has been well said, Ellen was a fine gardener. She was also kind, tactful, and hopeful. One day she came by our home to visit. Casting her gaze on my small plot by the garage where a six pack of flowers stood lonely in the bare soil, she said, "well, they will grow and fill in. Give them time." Indeed, they have. Many thanks for your encouragement, Ellen!

Greetings from the Kust family. My father car pooled with you, Don, to American Cyanamid from Pennington. I believe 2 or 3 of my brothers were in your Boy Scout Troop. I tried to visit you and Ellen about 2 years ago when I was touring Attic Angels. Please know that our family sends condolences. I will let my mom know. She is very close by in a Senior Living Center in Middleton.

Ellen lives in our memories as one of the nicest people you could have as a friend. She was always encouraging us in the herb garden and in life in general. May she rest in peace.

Dear Don, I was so sorry to see that Ellen passed away. I wish you good memories to help you feel peace and happiness and the joy you brought to each other. Call me sometime and I will update you on the DVHU status. 856-465-3600

Bob and I are very sorry for your loss. Mrs Wright was like a fun second mom when we were growing up and always had something interesting to show and teach us. We have missed her and Don on Woosamonsa Rd for many years. Hopefully she is in heaven laughing with my dad and sharing an evening glass of wine.
