Words fail me at a time like this. So I'll just refer all instead to several pages in the Testament volume: Frank's many oil-and-watercolor renditions of his favorite golden-haired Muse...and remember the Fighting Spirit that IS Ellie Frazetta in that way...

Mr. Frazetta, it was a pleasure to meet you finally this past Saturday. Considering the circumstances you were extremely gracious to myself and the other people who showed up to visit the gallery. We all came from as far as Florida and California and you were so kind as to let us into your studio. We didn't expect this or anything.

Our sympathy for the bereavement that you and your family are going through.

To Frank and the Frazetta Family,
My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. I think of fond memories when Ellie would speak to my students touring the museum many years ago. On one special trip when a student asked her a question, she pulled out some watercolors that weren't on exhibit. She was a special lady and will be remembered by many.

I had the privilege of meeting and talking with Ellie a few different times while at the museum in the last couple of years-an absolutely amazing woman...and truly one of a kind. Her spirit shines forever...
