Sorry for the loss of Mr. Ellis. My wife and I would like to pass our sympathies on to the family and say to Mr Supple how sorry we are for your loss. Not sure if you remember us but we were students of yours way back at Butera Sch. of Art. We left suddenly and have been married for 56 years. You made a difference in my life. You gave me courage to move on when we faced so many obstacles. We have thought about you many times. We hope you have had a life of peace, love, joy and discoveries. Enjoy the memories you have made with Mr Ellis and be at peace. Warm regards, Tony & Phyllis
