Condolence: Dear Mrs Ellison
My heart is broken for you and your beautiful family.
Dr Ellison was a lovely man with a beautiful soul.
He cared for me through five pregnancies. Four living births.
Always kind. Always thoughtful. Always thorough.
He always greeted me in a most pleasurable manner. How are you today sunshine? I remember him fondly. He will be sorely missed. I often think of the two of you, and how wonderful you both were to me.
I am greatful for having the opportunity to have received brilliant care from a brilliant man.
My deepest condolences to you and yours. Peace and love to you always.

Condolence: Dear Mrs. Ellison and family;

I had the extreme honour of having Dr. Ellison as my OB/GYN for all 3 of my pregnancies and having him deliver my three daughters, and having him perform 2 surgeries to make sure I only had three daughters. He was such a kind, gentle and funny gentleman, in the truest sense of the word, with a wonderful bedside manner.

He had a good laugh at my expense when he was about to perform surgery on me the day after I had my last child in July 1991. I was rolled into the O/R - he told me to relax; everything would be fine and that he had not let me down in the past 7 years as my physician, he would not let me down now. So, I relaxed...and fell asleep...before I was put under. He contemplated waking me up to have me count backwards while being put under anesthetic. He was sure I'd be fine and he didn't want to wake me up, so he didn't. He told me that he didn't want or expect me to be THAT relaxed and that was definitely a first for him in his career as a physician. We had a good laugh about it for years to come.

Thank you, and Mrs. Ellison, for bringing my children into the world, and for giving me the best care anywhere. You were definitely a team in every way. He will be very missed. I think of him every time I look at my now adult daughters, and how lucky they were to have such a lovely man being them into the world.

Mrs. Ellison, I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was wonderful in so many ways. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy,
Terry-Lynne Young

Condolence: Dear Anne & Family~ I am very sorry to learn that Martin has passed away. I remember the first time I met you, with Nick, when our husbands played a concert at Brock in an orchestra together, long ago.

My prayer is that your grief will be tempered by an abundance of happy memories & the support of family & friends. Wishing all of you comfort, strength and peace at this difficult time.Most sincerely, Anita
