Michelle Ong, thank you for this. I appreciate it it so much. I am Nell's sister. Our brothers will appreciate it, too.

I´m so saddened to learn of this and send condolences to her loving family.
I met Nellie during our medical school journey at Albert Einstein class of 1995. I loved her spirit, wisdom and humor. She once did a horoscope astrology mapping for me telling me I would be amazing. She is the amazing one. I´m so glad she helped children and adolescents in her field and was really hoping to reconnect only to find this. After graduating inn1995 we lost touch as I returned to California for training.
I wish I kept in touch as she is one of the most genuine and amazing people I have encountered. Bless you dear Nellie.
Your kindness and compassion lives on in every one you´ve touched.
I´m sorry I´m 5 years late.
- Michelle Ong (Einstein `95)

Nelly was a great friend. She was an amazingly kind and knowledgeable clinician. She was always generous with her time. I am very fortunate to have had a chance to get to know her. I will miss her a great deal.

Dr. Burlingham was one of the most kind-hearted, friendly, warm and intelligent individuals I ever had the privilege to know. I always knew I could go to her for advice on patients and trust her insights completely. The world is much less without her, but we will have her in our hearts and minds enriching us forever. All our sympathy and love to Charles and her family.

I only met Nellie in person a few years ago but I have been referring patients to her for decades.
She was a very special person, and an exceptionally engaged and smart psychiatrist who gave her all to the people she worked with. She is sorely missed by her patients who cared deeply for her, as she did for them.

Nellie was the dearest friend to me during my growing up years. Her family also accepted me into their smart, eclectic, creative mix. We lost touch and I am sad about that. So many wonderful memories of good times at the house in Rockland and out in Fire Island. Her mom, the original Eleanor, was the greatest. I'm sure that Nellie was a wonderful therapist. What a loss.

I loved and admired her when I worked under her at North General Hospital. We lost touch when I retired but she lived on in my mind as a beacon for good clinical service I feel her loss acutely. Goodbye darling Nelly Betsy Hamilton LCSW
