    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Rubin, Although I only met you a few times at Golden Living Ctr., I wanted to write and tell you again how much I enjoyed knowing Ellis. He had such a great attitude and I enjoyed his sense of humor as well as his acceptance of the situation. As you know, he had a difficult roommate there, and I'm sure that was a challenge for him along with his medical problems, but he handled it with grace and patience. I was sad when Ellis went home, but of course very happy for him. I send my very best wishes to you and the others who cared for and about him, and my sincere condolences. Martha Dogan
