Ellen Kort

Ellen, we recently gathered to celebrate 20 years since we met and traveled to Japan. You were remembered and with us in spirit!

"Friends come, friends go, Family comes, family goes, Memories come, Memories remain"

It was an honor to know Ellen & call her friend. We lost a shining star when we lost Ellen.

We traveled to Japan many years ago. She spoke of her family often. I am sorry for your loss. We will miss her, too.

Your mother taught one of the first classes in poetry that I took at The Clearing for a week. It was a life changing experience. I am so sorry her lovely poetry has reached an end, but will be honored to read one of her poems this spring at The Clearing. P

Dear Cindy & family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was an inspiration to many of us when we were in class at U.W. Fox Valley many years ago, and a
very gracious friend, always pleasant &
welcoming when we would meet.
Praying for you all.

I have heard so many people say, "let me tell you about my dear friend, Ellen Kort". What a wonderful tribute! Mark and I miss you, Ellen!

"It was a hot, steamy August day in 1971. A day that made your tongue parched. Robert walked the hallway of radio station WHBY (Where Happy Boys Yodel) on his first day of what would become shared blue inked hands, joy, sorrow, and contemplation. 'Hi, I'm Ellen Kort!' a voice said as sparkling eyes and a smile peaked through the pass-through that our offices shared. And our journey began." Kort Clan-a special part of our lives will always be the memories your FAMILY stories and lives...

Denise, Cindi and Kort Family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is so very hard to say good bye to mom. May memories and time support you all through this loss.
