,Ellen was always more than a cousin to me, she was my sister in the truest sense. We had a bond that was true and lasting. She was a special person. My words will never complete my thoughts, or my love and admiration for her. Rest in peace, my dearest Ellen.

This has taken a few days to sink in. It also has taken some time to describe what she meant to me. She was always a listening ear. She gave me love and support when I needed it. We all know it's going to happen someday, but the weird thing is you are never ready to let go. I adored her and I hope she knew that. I will be there for the finale Aunt Ellen, but I'll never let you go in my heart. Love you to eternity.

I am a Volunteer with Old Colony Hospice and Ellen was my patient. Ellen and I shared some very nice visits. She enjoyed looking at pictures on my cell phone of animals and flowers. My thoughts are with her family during this very sad time. May she rest in peace.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your mother was the neighborhood mom to many. I will cherish my memories of her kindness and thoughtfulness.

She made the best brownies in Sumner Gardens!
