“Ella was a consummate artist-- her work struck at you, surrounded you, drove white-hot trails down your spinal column, and made you laugh-- made you feel better.
The essential Ella will always be with us-- after all, this was someone whose presence could etch tungsten carbide-- but if there is anything to this afte life thing, then some recording angel somewhere is getting an earful right now.” —David Mosey“Over the past few years I think we missed each other more as we got older. El would call and say, “Damn it Cynthia, I want to do a Chanukah party and why aren't you here?” We talked seriously in the past year about how hard it is when those few you really want around you are far away. And you know Nick how much we talked about all sharing a place to live and work. The irony of that is I had told El this is the year (2006) I am retiring from UNM and would indeed come back east. In fact I have my meeting with the retirement office in March. (Maybe we should start a work/living village in her memory.)” —Cynthia“Her work was made for the ages and will continue to move people long after we are all gone.
To know Ella is to have your life changed by her.” —Pattie Firestone“The thing I always felt after spending time with Ella was that I was a smart, beautiful and special person. I have never before met someone with that ability.” —Ellen Schimley
