"My sincerest sympathies to my dear friend Verrita and the entire Parker family. Ellis was one of the most admirable men I have ever met. The love between the two of you was something only imagined in fairy tales. You were truly blessed to have spent the last 15 years with him. I will always have memories of you two at Jeremy's birthday parties and baseball games and his smile while playing his drums will be imprinted in my mind forever. V, I love you dearly and will be for whatever you may need. Love, Andrea"
