Ellen was my mother. She's been gone for 12 years now, and I miss her so much. She was a wonderful mother, and I had such a great childhood and teen years because of her patience, love, wisdom and sense of humor. She was always the family hub for our family after we ventured out with our own families, and we always came home for her delicious chocolate chip cookies and German plum dumplings. She was one of a kind, and I sure wish I could have just one more phone call, or just a lovely visit. Love and miss her every day.

Ellen was my mother, and I miss her dearly. She was a mom, a mentor, and a best friend. She also was a fabulous cook and baker, always having her yummy chocolate chip cookies at hand. She was a tough disciplinarian,but also a wonderful comforter. I love and miss her every day.

It will be a year tomorrow since Mom passed away, and can't believe the time has gone by so quickly. We love you and miss you, Mom, and hope you are happy once again. All our love, Linda, Ron and the Ori boys.

Thank you, Grandma, for never letting me believe I wasn't good enough. You lived an amazing life and touched so many with your kindness. I will never forget you...you will be sorely missed and cherished. I owe you so much, my gratitude would never be enough. Rest in peace-- I love you.

"Passage"
There is a new beginning at the moment we pass on,
A special understanding comes once darkness turns to dawn;
There is a new beginning once the spirit is set free -
The door that closes opens.....to reveal Eternity.

To the Family of Ellen - So sorry for your loss. I worked with Ellen in 1966-69 at Malloy's. She was so kind and very interesting to talk to. I have often thought of her through the years. She definitely was a Sweetheart. Charlotte Stewart
