I am sorry for your loss. I have many memories of sharing recipes and book recommendations with Ellen. She was always so quick to share books and we had a “sort of nurse partners book club” of 2 or 3.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Ellen was a very special lady who will surely be missed. She was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, friend and a talented nurse.
I will always remember our pleasant conversations and the time spent together at the birthday parties of Marissa and Joe!

We always said Ellen was a saint. Now we know she is. God rest you, Ellen. And Ralph, we love you always. We wish you and your family all our deepest condolences in your loss and we’ll always remember Ellen with love.
Your Mom was always kind to me & very pleasant/happy happy when I saw her…A nice person/sweet, she was cool (Ha Duno !)…Your great people…I’ll say a prayer for your Mom. I feel.
Dear Ralph and Family:
My prayers are with all of you. I have such great memories of Ellen when we would walk to Holy Family School together every day and
then on to Cathedral. We all had so much fun at all the Cathedral reunions.
May all your years together and the good life you both made for your family bring you comfort. We were all lucky to have her in our lives.
Love, Pat
Dear Ralph:
We were saddened to read of Ellen’s passing. Living in Florida, we were unable to attend the Mass, but certainly would have been there if we still in Massachusetts.
Please accept our most sincere condolences over the loss of your love of almost half a century. May memories of that love comfort you now during your grieving.
