I miss you Ellen. This is the time we would bump into each other at the mall as we would both be Christmas shopping. I also miss not seeing you on the bike path, but can feel you pushing me as I ride that hill into the park. I will continue to pray for your family and for your peace.
Merry Christmas in heaven.
Love & miss you, Anne
ps, I always laugh when I think of the gift of plastic bags you got as a present from Tom one year!

Was stunned and shocked to hear of Ellens passing... I lived across the street from the Scanlons. Ellen was an adorable little girl.. always smiling. Pat may you find peace in your grandchildren. So very sorry. RIP Ellen!

Ellen had a contagious smile. She was beyond a devoted mother. I remember her kids making silly faces at her and watching the fun games they would play. Ellen was so much fun. She was so energetic and full of life. Ellen I know you will continue to watch over your family. You are gone way too soon and you will be missed beyond words.

Ellen was on old school friend, from Sunrise Park Elementary through Wantagh High School. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of her sudden passing. Although I hadn't seen her in many years, I remember her fondly as a very warm, sweet person. I will keep her and her family in my prayers.

I first met Ellen at Reformed Church Nursery School & we later became neighbors when I moved around the block from her. I will always remember standing at the bus stop w/ her when her Kelly & my Ryan stated kindergarten together. I can still see her coming around the corner w/ Kelly & Casey w/ her curly hair & big smile. What a wonderful woman, a great mom! I remember her looking forward to Sean's Communion & she would tell my how all her 3 kids looked just like Tom. She was loved my many & will be missed every day!

I first met Ellen at Reformed Church Nursery School & we later became neighbors when I moved around the block from her. I'll never forget standing at the bus stop w/ her when her Kelly & my Ryan started kindergarten. I can still picture her walking around the corner w/ Kelly & Casey and her curly hair & big smile. What a wonderful woman, a great mom! She was always looking forward to something, Sean's communion, her block party and she would always say that all 3 of her kids looked like Tom. She was loved by many & will be missed every day!

Ellen brought a ray of sunshine to our block. She organized our block party and brought a sense of community (and lots of fun) to Shinnecock Avenue. Her warmth was contagious and she was such a concerned and caring mother. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched.

I went to Sunrise Park School with Ellen, along with the rest of our school years, her smile was contagious, along with her kindness. May she rest in peace and may her family know how much she loved them.
