I'm missing DU's beloved elleng for some reason today.

[MontanaMama]

It’s so strange how people pop into your consciousness out of the blue. Maybe it’s not out of the blue at all. This heart ❤️ is for her, wherever she is.

Here’s to all our friends on this platform who left us sooner than we would have liked. 💙

1. She loved the nature outside her home. It was always nice to hear about the goings on.

She is missed by many. 😢❤️❤️❤️

[MontanaMama]

2. I miss her bird pics.

Also her TMC movie listings.

[SheltieLover]

8. Her posting of pix daily of her Osprey nest will always hold a special place in my heart.

[MiHale]

29. Miss those pics...

Moved away from when we used to see Ospreys. Reminded me of that place…good memories.

[SheltieLover]

30. I was heartbroken when geese usurped the Osprey nest the next spring

And now our dear EllenG is soaring with her beloved Osprey.

4. She was like having...

A connection to southern Maryland. I enjoyed her legal perspective when she offered it, she knew how DC works and I appreciated that.

[MontanaMama]

16. She worked on a case for Montana Rail Link

back in the day! She even spent some time in Missoula while she completed her work for MRL. We visited a few times about that.

[2naSalit]

28. Ah...

So you actually met in person! What a cool thing!

I had no idea she had worked on the RR issue. Nice to know. And I understand your missing her.

[MontanaMama]

32. We didn't meet in person, I wish we had.

We visited via DU dm's. When she found out where I was from, she reached out about her time spent here. From what I understand, she had a fine legal mind.

[2naSalit]

33. That makes sense...

I have only met a few DUers in person, half of them when I was having trouble in Illinois last summer. I'm not sure when but I am certain that I'll be making trips out west in time. Once I am sure I can travel safely again. I am glad I made my trip out here when I did, I had a feeling it wouldn't be safe if I had waited.

5. She always had a terrifically cogent

reply to one of my dental posts/stories. I miss her as well.

[irisblue]

6. I totally enjoyed how she would call out Scott Jennings

That RW SOB on CNN

[MontanaMama]

17. I forgot about that!!

She had a way, didn't she?

[SheltieLover]

7. She was on my mind all day yesterday.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Grim Chieftain]

9. I was just thinking of her yesterday

I hope in the afterlife, those we have lost will know how much they were loved and still missed.

10. Lovely Post MontanaMama. I also completely agree how strange it is for people to pop into our consciousness. I recall

elleng photos. I always recommended them regardless of their quality. In hindsight, I felt I knew something was off. The tilt of her pictures. The need to document and share every single sunset and morning scene, and the boats on the bay. To our consciousness and connections. (Your post also struck me as I also had someone pop into my consciousness with such clarity recently, and I have not seen this person in 50 years, and I hope that changes).

[Solly Mack]

11. I miss seeing her name.

Her bird photos. Her letting people know what classic movie was playing. Her feisty and discerning comments.

[MontanaMama]

19. She was indeed feisty!!

In the best way.

Oh! And she posted recipes from the NYT. She's the reason I joined the NYT cooking group.

[Solly Mack]

21. Yes! The best way.

Her recipes sharing! I read those too.

[debm55]

31. So do I.

[Emile]

12. I miss her too. I always loved her TCM Lounge posts.

[virgdem]

13. I miss seeing her posts about the wildlife and weather

in her southern Maryland home. She was a well informed source of knowledge about a wide variety of subjects and her posts were always interesting and informative.
May her memory be a blessing.

[JMCKUSICK]

14. What a wonderful message and so timely as I was missing SCE this morning too.

Thank you MontanaMama

[MontanaMama]

20. Oh my. Another huge loss for DU.

Thank you for remembering SCE.

[Dear_Prudence]

15. She was my only connection

To my home state of Maryland. (Living in Ohio now.) I checked in with her so very often and I still miss her. ❤️

[hamsterjill]

18. What a sweet thing to do!

She was one of my favorite posters. Thank you for your remembrance of her.

Here's to elleng!!!!

[tavernier]

22. Oh no! How did I miss that??

Was it when I was out with the flu?

[PJMcK]

23. elleng and I were friends IRL

We met up for dinners a few times. She was a special lady.

[Donkees]

24. ❤️

[mnhtnbb]

25. It is surprising how many of us

have been reminded of her, thinking about her, in the last day or so. Me too. It will be two months tomorrow that I learned of her passing. May her memory be a blessing.

[Walleye]

26. I miss her work, too every day. I'm on here. Sometimes I see the geese flying over.

[BumRushDaShow]

27. Whenever I posted anything about MD

she was right there to fill in the details!

[Permanut]

34. That magic window..

and all the Maryland seasons. Thanks for posting this, MontanaMama.
