I will cherish having known such a wonderful woman and dear friend! I will always remember our days as teenagers to our last outing having drinks and laughs! Rest In Peace my friend you will be missed ❤️
It was with profound sadness that I learned of Ellen’s passing. I first met her as Kevin’s mother many years ago. A couple years ago we became reacquainted through her medical job. She visited my home which ironically my husband and I bought from the Berich’s years ago.
Her journey must have been long and difficult however the video displayed that effervescent. welcoming smile that was “Ellen”. Remembering you all with my condolence and prayers and eternal rest in peace for you’re loved one.
I was most fortunate to interview and hire Ellen for the RN Preceptor Program at the VNA Care Network. Ellen was a true gem of a nurse who received multiple compliments on her care from patients. It was a true honor to know and work with Ellen. My deepest sympathy to her family.
