We met for the first time in person at the EY meeting in San Jose in 2018- and it was so great to have the week with Ellen there, I still see her sitting at the desk making jokes with her boss Cliff. She was so kind, when we spent the evenings together, eg. in the Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. When my colleague mentioned: oh, it is hard to find a parking place there she just put the handicapped ID on the table like an Ass in a poker game - with a broad laugher. Now god has a good fellow to laugh about the world. I will miss your humor! You were always so friendly, drove me 3 hours home this evening, will never forget this and the time with you. Thanks that you were a so good colleague and friend, rest in peace and look sometimes what we do @SAP. Julia

I will always treasure the memories of our friendship. Will miss the good talks and who else could do a tarot card reading like Ellen! And make me laugh  at all stuff we have gone through and then laugh some more!  See you on the other side El.........

Ellen was Great ! I'll always remember her as the  Cool Cousin with the Cool Poster of a naked man hanging in her office at the gas station on Sheridan rd. in Roger's Park Chicago. She was the first woman I ever knew to have a poster like that hanging in her office and proud to do it. Honestly I still think she is still the only woman I've ever known to have the Courage and the Independence to do that. Besides getting a glimpse of the Naked man poster every time we would visit, she would always give us pop. 

Loved her for that !
