Message: Dearest Susan and Steve, Faith and Jack and families: We are so sorry for the loss of your mom, and our hearts go out to you today. I am very glad to have met Dori as she was approaching her 100. Birthday! Through Susan's stories and through meeting her in person Mrs. Ellis became an inspiration to me. She had a great sense of humor, kept her social engagements and independence as long as she could, and kept up her positive and determined spirit throughout. We are thinking of you at this time of sorrow and send our condolences from India.

Message: Susan, we are very sorry to hear about your loss. From our family (including Lulu and Shirine) to yours, our most heartfelt sympathies.
