Ellen was very good friend of mine. We were roommates for a time and shared upstairs/downstairs fun and laughter with some other Golden Girls. The laughter never stopped. I will never forget her and always remember her with great fondness. RIP Ellen

I was honored to spend time with Ellen and her amazing family. She was a beautiful, smart lady with a great sense of humor and had a lot of love to give. We will miss you all and you are all in my prayers
