I C&P this sad email Chris Pulver (NEWF Rescue)
It is with the heavest of hearts and a tower of sadness that I am informing you of the loss of our beloved Ellen Toll Katz. If ever there was a soul on earth who dedicated their every waking moment to the Newfoundland Dog, it was Ellen. If a persons heart could be completely filled with the care and concern for any displaced Rescue, then Ellen's heart overflowed. If a hundred people turned to Ellen over the years for guidance and direction, Ellen had time to direct a hundred more. Her advice was always sencible and correct. Her devotion was the inspiration to so many of us. Her efforts never ran tired. Her deeds always on target. My only hope is that we can follow in her giant pawprints and carry on her tremendious work. She was a woman of strength and focus. Her heart was deep with love and care. Her time here was not nearly long enough. My guess is that the numbers of Rescues that she has helped along her way, stood knee deep to greet her as she left our pathetic world to join them on the other side. Now they will care for her. Ellen's passing was sudden, yet she let it be known that when this time came she wanted no flowers, only donations to NCNE Rescue Fund. Donations would be in care of Ellen's dearest friend and soulmate in Rescue, Cathy Derench. So the next time you have a rescue that lies heavy on your heart, remember that Ellen is probably there like a solem breeze, helping and guiding the karma on this displaced rescue. Ellen passed on Friday, June 23, 2006. She left behind her son John, her wonderful daughter Tracy, and her most prized posession, her Granddaughter Jorden. Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories a lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
And take you back again..." Author unknown
Thank you for your prayers
