I remember Ellen looking beautiful in her two piece bathing suit, out with Michael and Linda in her yard in the summers. She was beautiful and radiated love.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Ellen for over a decade, when she was my executive assistant and departmental secretary at the Evanston Hospital. She was a most experienced and dedicated individual who always had a pleasant cordial attitude and became a dear friend of my family. therefore,We were all shocked by the sad news about the unexpected loss of our beloved Ellen.

On behalf of my family and myself, I wish to express our deepest condolences to Harvey , Dr.Michael , Nancy,Linda, and the Liss family and friends. I will miss Ellen's lovely personality and smile forever, but cherish the fond memories of our time together. May she Rest in Peace.
