Condolence: I had a wonderful chance to work with Ellen several years ago, and she was a great colleague and a bright light for me and our students. I am deeply sorry for what has happened: my thoughts are with you and yours.

Condolence: Jim, all my thoughts are with you on Ellen's passing. She was always one of the loveliest, most engaging people to speak with. I'll always remember her for her kind spirit over the years, and in particular a memorable talk I had with her at a Dept. party at Qais Sako's house several years ago, which is the last time I spoke with her (and you). Hugs, condolences, and good thoughts to you, Jim.
