ELLIE BRANDT

Her name was ELLEN. Bob changed her name to Ellie because it sounded sexier. Creep.

It's almost a year and I still miss you so much. Not a day goes by without thinking of you. You will always have a special place in my heart.

Ellen started out as the boss's wife, someone I worked with. We quickly grew into much more. We were buds. Part of a crew at Bob's agency. So many good times. I lost touch with Ellen for a while, then resumed. She was like a sister to me. Always there to lend an ear.

Bob,
Ellen and I were deeply saddened to hear the news. I’ll always remember Ellie’s warm smile and upbeat personality. She was a lot of fun to be around. Our sympathies to you and the family.

Just last year I received an e-mail from Ellen - she had seen my name on Classmates.com. and e-mailed me.

I have no idea what happened, but know that I was so looking forward to...

The world has suffered a tremendous loss at the passing of Ellie. She was one of kind as she gave love and lived life always caring for others. She had the extraordinary ability to always make others feel like they were the most important person and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for you. We miss her so much. She was a shining light for everyone she ever met and the love she gave to others is truly an example for the rest of us to try to follow. Our deepest sympathy to you and your...

with my sympathy...

Bob, MIke and I are so very sorry to hear about your tragic loss. The few times I met Ellen, she was a beautiful and kind spirit. Our deepest sympathy. Maribeth Carroll

Bob, our deepest sympathies go out to you and your entire family. Very, very sorry to hear of this tragic loss. Ellie was such a positive force...
