I knew Elllen as a child. We took ballet class together and I will always remember her kindness, gentleness and hardworking nature. So shocked and very sad to hear of her death. My thoughts and condolences to her family. Alicia Szulkin (formerly Schwarz)

Ellen and I went to St. Vincent Ferrer HIgh School together.  We were always seated next to each other in homeroom--Grogan, Gudat; we had many laughs and good times.  Sadly, we lost touch after we graduated.  I'm so sorry to hear of her passing.  She was a warm, kind, funny, and compassionate person.  My condolences to her family.  Rest in Peace, Ellen.

I went to St. Vincent Ferrer with Ellen.She was such a sweet girl.  Always so happy.  She has always been, and will always be part of my wonderful memories of those days.  God bless your family.

I sang with Ellen in the NYL chorus and have worked with her on projects, she was such a kind, spirited, wonderful person. She now sings with the heavenly choir. May her soul rest in peace.

Ellen and I went to Hunter College together.  We lost touch over the years but I will always have my fond memories from our younger days.  I am so saddened  and very sorry to hear of her passing.  I send my prayers and deepest condolences for your loss.

To Tom & Gudat family,

I was so shocked to hear about Ellen's passing - way to young!  Please accept our sincere sympathy.  Ellen was one of the nicest and down to earth people we have known.  We are presently in California so cannot send our sympathies in person.

Its hard to put all of the words around how great of a person Ellen was.  A few that immediately come to mind is that she was so kind, so caring, patient and a lot of fun.  We'll miss the times we spent playing games like Mexican train, laughing and joking around, and just enjoying our time together. You were the perfect companion for Uncle Tom, full of life, energy and always happy.  We love and miss you Aunt Ellen.  May you rest in peace.

It is rare to know someone like Ellen, who freely shared her good nature and enthusiasm with others. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. It was my pleasure to have known Ellen at NYL both in NYC and Westchester.

Our cousin was a genuinely kind and sweet person. The world is emptier today.

Ellen was a beautiful person. She was kind, fun and it was always calming to be around her.  I am blessed to have known her and have her in my family, I only wish it could have lasted for many more years to come.  I will always remember her, her refreshing sense of humor and her beautiful warm smile.

May you find peace and comfort  in your time of sorrow. Ellen was kind and patient and I will miss working with her.

May God bless Ellen's family in this time of sorrow. Ellen was a kind-hearted and wonderful person. I will always cherish the time that we worked together.

Ellen was a wonderful Sister in Law.   She was one of the most warm hearted, intelligent, and good natured person that we knew.   She was patient and understanding with everyone.  We were very fortunate to have her in our lives.  We became close with Ellen thru the years and had a special bond with her and Tom.   She brought a sparkle to our holidays with her smile and her love for Tom was apparent to all.   We love Ellen very much and will miss her dearly.   Our hearts are broken.

My aunt was a special part of our family and will be greatly missed. I was lucky enough to travel with her and take part in her flare for life.  Ellen was a sweet, fun, and generous person who was always kind to everyone she met.  She was a smart woman, fully dedicated to her job and her career.  We had many talks about work and about the future.   Ellen and my uncle Tom knew how to enjoy life and were a perfect match for each other. 
It saddens us deeply that she was taken from this earth so soon.  I know Ellen will watch over us from heaven and she will continue to be with us in our hearts every day.

Ellen you were always a beautiful and kind hearted person. I will miss you dearly our daily chats where ever we saw each other at the job. May the peace of God which surpasses all undersatanding rest over your family during this time.  

Martha Pepin (Bronx, NY)

Tom, Ellen always had a smile for everyone but when she met you  (on the bus) she got an extra twinkle in her eye.  I saw the same from you (about her) when I met you.  There are no words to convey how sorry I am about the loss of your soulmate and best friend.  With love and sympathy to you and your family.

With deepest sympathy.  May God bless and  comfort you.

Aunt Ellen will always be remembered as a sweet, caring and fun-loving lady who had a beautiful smile that could light up a room. She was the perfect match for my Uncle Tommy. Our prayers are with her entire family.

Ellen was always willing to answer your questions, and if she didn't know the answer she would find out and get back to you.  She had such a great disposition, she will certainly be missed.

ELLEN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE WE MET WHEN WE MOVED INTO LE HAVRE. WE HAD A WONDERFUL SOCIAL LIFE WITH BOTH HER AND TOM (HER HUSBAND) WE TRAVELED WITH THEM AND LIFE WAS GOOD. SHE WAS TAKEN TOO SOOOOOON  FROM US.
WE WILL MISS HER VERY MUCH    DEBBIE AND IRA SILVERMAN

I will truly miss this very devoted, wonderful person who gave NYL everything that she had.  Ellen answered many of my questions.  May your family find comfort in having known your love and wit first-hand.

Ellen will be deeply missed by her family and friends. A donation has been made to the American Lung Association in her honor.

My deepest condolences to Ellen's family. I had the pleasure of knowing her through our work at NY Life and we would often chat about our love of cruises. We met when we both sang in the NYL choir.  She was a lovely person and will be dearly missed.

Ellen was a member of my Westchester Lunch group, as well as a fellow CyberLife Project Manager.  Ellen and I had many laughs and swapped life stories.  Ellen loved to relate stories from the cruises and Atlantic City excursions that she and Tom enjoyed.  Ellen was a great friend and will be missed by everyone.  My deepest sympathies to Tom, Mom and Family.

It was a privilege to have known Ellen and to have worked with her. She will be sorely missed by her friends and those who knew her. My condolences to the family.

Ellen was a wonderful person; I feel blessed to have met her and had the opportunity to work with her.  She will be missed dearly.

I had the pleasure of knowing Ellen from work and singing with her and the New York Life Choir. When we both moved to Westchester, we had to drop out of the chorus but saw each other in the cafeteria. She always greeted me with a smile and always asked how I was doing. She will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to Ellen's family.  She was a wonderful person and a pleasure to know.  We will all miss her.

We will all miss Ellen. She brought a smile to everyone she worked with. Our thoughts and prayers are with her husband and family.
