My thoughts and prayers are with you

during this very difficult time. Mrs. Ellis was a mentor to me and many of the young girls at Manassas

Regional High School in the early

1950's.

What can I say? I lost a person I deeply admired. We didn't always agree, but it never interfered with our respect for each other. I loved her dearly and my sympathy goes out to her family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult period. I have so many fond and happy memories of Mrs. Ellis. She was an inspiration to me as a student at Manassas Regional High School. I'm truly sorry of our great loss.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Mrs.Ellis. She was my 12th grade chemistry teacher at Stonewall Jackson Senior High School in 1967.I had a great deal of admiration for Mrs. Ellis. She always taught her students to have respect for themselves and others. I know she will be sorely missed. (In addition, I worked at Leggett's Department Store with Tony Ellis at the time she had appendicitis.)
