I was best friends with Ellen's husband since High School and after his untimely death, my wife and I, remained close with Ellen. We would meet for lunch several times during the summers and catch up with the latest in our lives. She has fought a courageous battle with cancer and maintained a positive attitude throughout. Our deepest and sincere condolences go out to Chris, Sarah , and Blake as well as Douglas and Ellen's beloved 3 grandchildren, as well as her sister Jennifer. Although we cannot be there for her memorial service, our thoughts and prayers will be with the family during this difficult time.
