I remember this therapy session I had with Ellen 9 years ago when robin Williams died, she told me that maybe he didn't believe in god, I said I don't know what his spiritual beliefs where, its not like I knew him.

Our deepest condolences to all of Ellen´s beloved family.
I recall Ellen as being an enthusiastic student and very likable person when we attended college together.
Many years later we would get to meet again at Jen and Rob´s wedding.
We are all very sorry for your loss.

Dear Ellen: Thank you for being "there" for our son when he needed an "advocate" at Tripp School. Your assistance & friendship has never been forgotten. May you rest in "shalom". Ellen's Family: SO sorry for your loss of this "loving" lady.

I´m so sad and sorry to hear of Ellen´s passing. We were friends and colleagues during her tenure in District 102 schools both at Pritchett and Tripp Schools. I was always so impressed and grateful for her exceptional skills when working with children. Her compassion and knowledge always helped them and their teachers. I´m wishing you the comfort of loving memories. May her memory be for a blessing.

Ellen and I ran together every morning whether cold and snowy or warm and rainy for many years we shared feelings , supported each other and took pleasure in raising our daughters who are still good friends. She was a giving, caring and non-judgmental
person who always had time to see and hear others. She will be greatly missed

It is with a heavy heart I offer my condolences. Your mom, wife, nana, sister, aunt, cousin was my friend. I won´t ever forget her kindness and generosity of spirit. I also will always remember her sparkly eyes, huge smile and her way of affirming everyone!
May God grant you some comfort as you grieve this huge loss.
