I am very sorry to learn of this.  Ellie was a really nice person and my condolences to the family.

My Dearest Sister Ellie:

I still can't believe you are gone.  Even though we didn't talk much as we had busy lives, I still loved & cared about you.  I wish I would have known you were sick and it breaks my heart.  You were & always will be my big Sister & I will cherish all the good memories we had.  I will always be here for Bob & the Kids if they ever need anything.  I Love & Miss you Sis.  Always & Forever.  Your Little Sister.

Elle- No space and time got in the way of our friendship and laughs. I will forever be heartbroken but grateful that we came into each others lives.  Although your loss made me lose my breath, I will keep in my heart the love we had for each other, the unrelenting support we gave to each other, and the ease of how we were together.  I will always cherish time spent with your children and be touched and honored by your friendship.  Too many stories to tell and remember that I will always keep with me.  We both were very similar, and therefore my memories will be kept for me and us, forever in my heart till I can speak them again with you.

So many memories pile up over 32 years. The night I asked you to be Brooke's godmother is one of my favorites. That first NYE when we met, and you went home and told your parents, "He's going to marry her, I just know it." The night you came downstairs and told me you were pregnant with Nicholas, and swore me to secrecy. Getting our nails done eight million times at Glow Spa, hanging out with Bella, finding you a house in NC. So many more! The fabric of two lives, going from sisters-in-law to sisters. I'll miss you.

Ellie was a coworker and dear friend. I first met her at CVS Caremark. When she first started at Caremark I helped train her. She was a fast learner and great with people. Sometimes our members would ask for her by name when they called in, as they liked her so much! We started chatting aside from work and sometimes played video games together, oftentimes with one or more of her sons. She loved her boys alot and would often boast about them. We quickly got very close, and shared pretty much everything about our lives with each other. She would always listen when I shared my problems  and often encouraged me. She would also make me laugh, usually without even trying. We talked about our pets alot. Although she loved her cats alot, she loved her pug Bella the most. I picture them together again now, and that gives me comfort. Ellie was a dear friend to me, whom I loved and valued. I will miss her so much and am so sad she had to pass away so young. I will also miss all of our talks and laughter. Please know she was a blessing and meant alot to me.

We are so sorry to hear of Ellie’s passing. We always considered ourselves cousins even though we weren’t blood related. Her family used to come down to go to Sunset Beach with our family or Ellie would come stay with our family in the summer. So many memories of good times. Fortunately for me, I found Ellie was in hospital same time as my Dad. I would visit her & we enjoyed all the memories of us growing up. I feel so fortunate to have that time with her. Robert & the kids are certainly in our thoughts & prayers. Please let us know if we can do anything for the family. Ellie will be greatly missed.
Debbie Simonse Roten, Uncle Casey & all of the Simonse family.

We’ve always been close & I can’t count the endless texts & calls since you moved to NC. You’ve been through so much, but we’re always a trooper - never a “Why me?” I would never have thought our special bond would be strengthened further by cancer. We were diagnosed with the same type of cancer more than once-even had the same surgeon. That poor man dealing with 2 Robotti’s at once! Who would have thought having battled cancer for so long that it would be your big, generous heart that took you from us. I’m going to miss picking up the phone & hearing “Hey, Di - it’s Ellie.” I’ll always be grateful to have had you in my life. You’ve left a tremendous void & a trail of broken hearts. I love you, El & you’ll forever be in my heart.

Ellie loved her Bella! Ellie loved her family with all her heart and soul. Bob, Alex, Tyler & Nick, you were all blessed to be a loving family.
I felt the love as anyone who spent time with you all. The best parts of my life were with Ellie, since we were 15. 
I will cherish her and the family for my lifetime. 
Bob, Alex, Tyler and Nick, I hope you know how much I love you all. I'm so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother and your 1 in a million wife Bob.
You are all in my and Ron's prayers. 
Love Jan💔

I am so so terribly sorry and will never forget you. We had a lot of great times and I will miss you.
