Dear Geoff, I am very sorry for your loss, and I am feeling it myself today to have read all the wonderful memories that were shared at the Memorial Service. Ella and I shared being redhead, being dietitians, we shared an apartment... But time and distance has intervened. Thanks for being her correspondent in the past few months and for being such a wonderful husband. Susan and Donald

I WORKED FOR FOR ELLA'S ONCOLOGIST. EVERTIME ELLA CAME IN THE OFFICE AND I NOTICED HER SITTING IN THE WAITING ROOM. I'D BE SURE TO SAY HELLO TO HER. IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE HER SMILING FACE, WHETHER SHE WAS HAVING A GOOD DAY OR NOT. SHE MANAGED. HER HUSBAND WAS ALWAYS BY HER SIDE. THAT WAS A NICE THING TO SEE. I WAS THERE TO HELP HER IN ANY WAY THAT I COULD POSSIBLY. I WANTED TO BE SURE THAT SHE GOT THE BEST SERVICE, BECAUSE SHE WELL DESERVED THE BEST. SHE WAS A SWEET WOMEN. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO KNOW HER. I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ELLA AND HER BELOVED FAMILY. I WISH YOU ALL WELL, AND MAY GOOD THINGS COME YOUR WAY. ELLA WOULD WANT IT THAT WAY.
