Christine and Matt I thought many times of my friends Ellen and Dick. They were in my wedding party in Feb. 1958. I was honored that Mom wore my wedding dress for her wedding and looked beautiful. Your dad was my husband Frank´s friend and we became friends at work. We had fun together but as things change we sometimes lose touch. Dad was a terrible loss but she loved you so much.
Wish you a wonderful life,
Lucille and Frank Giacino

Matt and Christine, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was an awesome lady I will only have the best memories of growing up and our parents hanging out. She always knew how to have a great time. She will be missed!!

Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone. Those we love can never be more then a thought apart, for as long as there is a memory, they'll live on in our hearts.
Ms. Ellie you will be missed. You were the life of the party. You will forever live in our hearts. I will never forget the fond memories. You were so fun to be around. I will miss your upbeat, funny and caring way.
Ashleigh and I are deeply saddened by Ms. Ellie's passing and you have our deepest sympathy

Ellie
Knowing you for all these years has brought fun and laughter to our lives.
Saying ”Hello” every morning in Bldgs 1152 and 1209 some how made the mornings easer to cope with (even when Geroge was in a grumpy mood) and sharing the breaks on the front steps made them seem to short.
I'll always remember you yelling “I'm not old enough to be your Mother” at me when I called you “Mother” It was not meant as a product of age, but of caring.
You always handled life with elegance, grace, compassion, and caring. Capabilities that few people possess these days.
Spending the time with you and the other “smokers” was a good time with good friends.
Spending time with you at Christina's summer home in Point seemed to be too short and too far between. Sharing fun and good time when we would get ice cream at Sundies brought us such joy.
Now it's time for you join Richard and Sparky. So go with God's speed and with his arms around you to love and protect you always.
Love, Lee and Jack Piper, Brick NJ

My sincere condolences to Matt and Christine. Mom was a good friend to all those who knew her. I missed her when she moved but we stayed in touch. So glad I had a chance to talk to her recently.

Ellie, I will miss your wise council, at a time when I needed it and didn't know it. I will remember your forthright advice, even when I may not have wanted to hear it. And I will remember your caring and kindness toward not only myself, but for all those around us; an example I would take on all my travels to come. I will miss my New Jersey mother very much and will remember you forever.

Ms. Ellie - I will miss you terribly. My life will not be the same without you in it. I will miss our morning coffee, our shopping trips, our candid conversations, and our secrets. I will treasure those moments with you. I will love you always. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Mom, I will never forget your unconditional love. You had me learn from your example and let me make my own mistakes. I learned many things but always go back to the beginning. Don't forget who you are and never settle, always reach for the stars. Mom, you are my STAR and I will never forget our journeys, failures and successes. Give Dad a kiss and hug for me - you are both the best any son could have ever dreamed.

Ellie was a wonderful, fun woman. I will miss our conversations and the laughs we had. It was my priviledge to be her friend, and to work for her for some 25 years. My condolences to Matt, Christine, John and Alexandra.

The memories of Ms. Ellie will be forever alive and with us. We will miss her candid humor, the stories she had to tell whenever we had the privilege to be invited to sit with her on the back porch. We are thankful to have known her and to have been among the ones she welcomed to her home and into her life. May you rest in peace Ms. Ellie.

Aunt Ellen will be a missing link in our family. We had many good times with her and she always made us laugh. Her sense of humor remained until the end. But we are happy she now has a new healthy body and is dancing in heaven with Uncle Dick.
