To Tony and family
Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of Ellen or Lady Ellen as she was known to some of us. I have very fond memories of our twenty eight years working together and coffee meet ups. I also have a glass angel that Ellen gave as my guiding light when I was going through cancer sixteen years ago . R.I.P. Ellen.
