Saw this news while we were in WDW and said a prayer for Ellen and her son. I've had several conversations with Ellen here on Intercot. What a wonderful, kind, strong lady.

Very sad to read this news. I believe I had the pleasure of exchanging comments with ElenitaB from time to time.
Thank you for sharing that nice NY Times article about her - I am a casual visitor at intercot & did not know of her struggles.
My thoughts, prayers and condolences to all who lost a caring, thoughtful friend.

I am newly registered to the Intercot boards for the soul purpose of signing this thread. Ellen was a truly remarkable lady who befriended me in her quiet gentle way. My eldest son and I had the pleasure of staying at her apartment this summer with she and Ben. She was the most gracious of hosts, just as you would have imagined her to be. I know of at least two people on these boards who knew of my friendship with her.
I honestly can't begin to put into words the grief I feel over losing my friend. She was an incredibly private person; however, shared so much of her heart with me. She preferred to keep our personal stuff between us. I want to honor her though and would like to say that my friend, Ellen, was one of the few truly selfless people I have ever known/met. She was an advisor, a confidant, cheerleader, supporter and a true friend. She never did anything for the accolades or the recognition. What she did came from a place of love, understanding and compassion. Ellen was far more than a friend...my words are inadequate to explain how I felt about her. We clicked from the first time we spoke and I will miss her forever. She was a truly wise, wonderful lady who blessed so many. She had little family and we became that to each other.We talked about moving to Florida together, where we could truly be a family, along with a few other special folks. That had been a wonderful dream. My last contact with her was via email, December 26. She wasn't well, but still hopeful.
I ask, does anyone know how Ben is? Is he with his Uncle? I am very worried.
Thank you for sharing your heart stories of "ElenitaB". She was truly a classy lady.

I have just returned from WDW and was catching up on all things Intercot when I read this post. I am deeply sadden and my heart breaks for Ellen's Ben. Ellen was someone I never met but was one of my heros. Her battle was monumental. Her love for her child great. I don't believe I ever read a harsh word that she posted. I now know I was just one of many who she reached out to with private messages when in I was in need. Ellen you have made my life better for having known you. RIP

Blessedmom4 - She told me about you! She spoke very highly of you also, and I know she enjoyed the time you spent together.
I do not know for certain how Ben is. I do believe his uncle is caring for him. I have been thinking a lot about him also.

From another who never met her but has been touched by her story. Prayers for the peace that passes all understanding.

I haven't been on here for awhile and was shocked when I read the news. While I never met her, I enjoyed reading her comments and wish that I had had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person. My prayers go out to her family, especially Ben. I take comfort in knowing that such a considerate lady surely made plans for the care of the son she loved so much if the worst did happen.
God now has another angel and Walt another friend in heaven.
