Only good memories come to mind when I think of Ellen...in fact only good memories come to mind from Mercy ICU and it's entirety.....the laughs, the caring, the sincere thoughtfulness of all nurses and staff. I can still hear Ellen's laugh...and feel truly blessed for her presence in my life. I hope peace finds its way into all those broken hearts. ...

The heavens have opened to receive someone very special, albeit unbelievably too soon. Ellen was the essence of what a woman/nurse should be: smart, funny, caring, compassionate, kind, respectful, and much loved by many! You will be so very missed by all who had the honor to know you! My deepest sympathy.

Ellen was an amazing person. I have always admired her, and she has had a large impact on my career as a nurse. She was my nurse manager several years ago, and I have not worked for a boss since that compares to Ellen. She was always to encouraging, giving, and helpful. I am praying for her entire family.
