A Tribute to Ellie

Marilyn Bruce, of the Capital Park Neighborhood Association, held a tribute for Ellie Philips on October 12, 2007. I read from a few of the cards people sent in honor of Ellie's memory. She inspired and helped a lot of people and groups. A representative of Lutheran Hospital thanked Ellie for her posthumous gift. Cecil Brewton, principal of George Washington Carver Community School promised to appropriately display the plaque. He brought along some young students, who promised to water the tree planted in her memory.

Marilyn, Janice and several more of Ellie's friends showed up for cookies, Diet Cokes and remembrance at the condo. It was a nice event. Ellie is missed.
