Dear Lisa and Mark,
I just read about your loss. Ellen was such a warm, fun-loving person. I got reacquainted with her on my trips to Shalom Village and we spent quality time together.
I wish you and your family no more sorrow.
Lisa and Mark:
I was so saddened to hear of Ellen’s death. I remember her as a sweet kid, a happy bride being lifted up on the chair at the wedding reception. Your sweet parents of blessed memory, loved both of you so very much. I hadn’t seen Ellen in many years and of course the last time I saw you both was at my ex-motherinlaw’s funeral and you greeted me lovingly and generously and it was so appreciated.
May you only have simchas in your life from hereon and may you be comforted with all the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and know no more sorrow. May Ellen’s Neshama have an aliyah in Shomayim.
My thoughts are with you at this very sad time.

Ellen lived life to it’s fullest, always with the pedal to the metal. She gave getting back to health a great try, an enormous effort to be admired.
