Ellen was a fellow student in my scariest first semester of college. She was a trusting and friendly face I found solace in. She filled what I yearned for after leaving my family behind. I will never forget the important role she played for me during those formidable years. Thank you Ellen for being a sincere friend and a great left-desk mate. Rest in peace girlie.
