Hi Ellen,
I just did a google on my future mother in law to see what I could find. She recently passed away in February, and I see she had sent you a message. She had mentioned to my fiance in January how she wanted you to come to our wedding, at that time I didn't have a clue what she was talking about until I found this. Here's what she sent to you.

ELLEN, HERE IS WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. TURNING 50 ISN'T THAT BAD AND I KNOW YOU WILL MAKE IT A GREAT DAY WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS. USUALLY HERE IN WISCONSIN, WE WILL HAVE A COOK OUT IN JANUARY WHEN IT IS BELOW ZERO. HOWEVER IT IS UNSEASONABLLY WARM THIS YEAR. I JUST WANT TO WISH YOU A PEACFUL YEAR BUT ALSO TO HAVE TONS OF FUN & LAUGHTER AS LAUGHTER IS SO IMPORTANT TO ONE'S HEALTH AND YOU SURE DO THAT FOR ME. I WATCH YOU EACH DAY JUST TO SEE WHAT NEW DANCE YOU HAVE GOING AND THOSE KIDS THIS WEEK ARE SOOOOO TALENTED. BTW, MY SON IS GETTING MARRIED IN AUGUST AND TO HELP US GET EVERYONE OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR, YOU, AND ANYONE ELSE YOU WANT TO BRING COME ON TO WISCONSIN FOR A WEDDING, AND THERE WILL BE ALL ONE CAN DRINK(YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN) HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU AND THAT IS AS CLOSE AS YOU ARE GOING TO GET TO ME SINGING. LINDA

I wondered how she thought she would get in touch with you, but by the looks of it she did! :) Thanks, Andrea

Dearest Ellen - We all want to wish you a very happy birthday. You deserve the happiest of birthdays since you do so much for others less fortunate. I'm writing on behalf of the nipmuc High School in Upton, Ma. There is this wonderful 9th grade boy here at our school and I happen to be the luckiest lady in the world since I've had the pleasure to be his Aide for 8 years. Connor is 15 years old and has been living with multiple disabilities for all his life. This wonderful young man has touched so many hearts along the way. He has gone through many surgeries and has another one approaching at the end of June. This surgery is very risky and the doctors themselves are very nervous. He is going to have surgery on his back . He has severe scoliosis and a rod in his to keep him from bending in 1/2.Unfortunately the rod broke and now he is in need of this risky operation to have a new one put in. The doctor says it is a 50/50 chance of paralysis but worse is possible death. This little guy (4 1/2') is so special to our whole town. High School Musical is Connors interest. He has seen the movie but would love to see them perform in person. Maybe even meet them. His one other interest is the tv show Smallville. What could be done with that I don't know. He is unable to fly on a plane because of a heart condition. Connor's other disability is that he was born with 2 very thin arms that don't bend and has only one finger at the end of each arm. Please let me know if ther is anything you can do to help us. Thank you Ellen for all you do for so many people. You are so special!!!!!! From Your faithful viewer, Sharon Hackenson and everyone else at Nipmuc High School

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Well Ellen you have hit the big 50....congratulations, just remember every thing starts to fall off at 50 and by 60 it's pretty slim pickings....you on the other hand are doing quite well and you sure don't look fifty or even forty, so whatever it is your doing ...keep it going. Best wishes from Canada....

Ellen, Just didn't want to pass up the chance to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. However you may celebrate. Hope you celebrate with good health, happiness, and good friends. And of course your Mom.She is adorable. And so are you.
Enjoy!!!!
Tracey

Ellen:

You're getting hotter every day.
Happy 50th.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

P.S.
I'm a guy so any chance I get to flirt with a babe, I'll do it!!!!!

Hey Ellen,

I want to say that you look absolutely wonderful for turning 50, I only hope that I look that wonderful in 25 years !!
My daughter called you and left you a message so I hope you get it. She is 2 and her name is Kiara. She absolutley loves you, we watch you all the time and Kiara dances with you, she even did a break dance for you, she os constantly saying HOLLA Ellen Holla. She cries when your show is over, I have several clips of her beat boxing for you (she's 2) and dancing for you. I think she is your youngest fan.

Well all the way from Canada, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN !! HOLLA

Hi Ellen,
My name is Darlene and I am from Bailey Island, Maine. I was going to call on your birthday line to wish you a "Happy Birthday", but I sound like I have a frog in my throat (just getting over from being sick). The number "50" is great. I know, I turned 50 last year. You look great for almost being 50 and I love you. I have a confession......I used to watch Opra. Then one day I turned it over to your show, and you have me hooked. You are on my t.v. everyday at 4p.m., and If I'm not here I record you and I love to dance. If you ever come to the state of Maine, you have to visit Bailey Island........what an awesome place. Well I hope you have a wonderful birthday Ellen and I love you.
Darlene Temple

Hello Ellen,

My mother and I would like to wish you a Happy Birthday and many more to come. My mother watches you every morning from Pollocksville, NC and she thinks you're such a cute lady. She said that she wishes you would wear a dress one day. I told her your pants and sneakers are like a trade mark for you. So she was very nonchalant in saying well she can wear the sneakers, but I want to see her wear a dress just once.(smile) My mom loves your show! Take care, Happy Birthday and please by all means don't bribe the magician into bursting more ballons with your favorite champagne/wine.(LOL)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN!!!!!IM 10 YEARS OLD AND I WACH YOUR SHOW EVERY DAY!!!I HAPE I GET TO GO TO ONE OF YOUR SHOWS!!HAPPY B-DAY AGAIN!!!

LOVE YOUR BIGGEST FAN IN THE WORLD,

BAYLEY

HI!!! HAPPY BDAY! I a absolutely love your show. I broke my leg at school this past Monday January 7th, 2008. My mom made me stay home all week, which gave me the opportunity to watch your show everyday this week. You are so funny, my mom and I crack up evertime we see your show! I am only 13, so I can't go to your show quite yet, but for my 14th birthday this year, 2008, obviously, I want to go to one of the tapings. I would have so much fun, but it is pretty hard to get tickets because everybody loves you sooo much! Haha!
Love Your Most Awesomest Fan,
Jena Woods

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN!!!! I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your two People's Choice awards. You truly deserve it!! Everyday I watch your show and you always make me laugh. You are a very special person and you deserve all the success that is given to you.

Have a great birthday and don't forget to do all the the fun things that you like to do. That's what birthdays are for!!!!

Rock on, Ellen

Love from you fan,

Cindy

Ellen I truly hope you have a fantastic Birthday.I am so amazed by your ability to be so compassionate I have not missed a show since you started.I made my Husband Tivo you when I was in the hospital having back surgery so when I could catch up.Again Happy Birthday.

Love ya:
Angel

Happy Birthday from St. John's , Newfoundland, Ellen! 50 is wonderful......51 is even better!! Something about 5 - 0 makes you realize that the most important person right now is this wonderful 50 year old. So, dance away, girl,BUT watch your back and your hips and your knees and your shoulders and your teeth and your eyesight and your balance and your memory and...........

Happy happy Birthday Ellen

Well my dear, I have left you three voice mail messages and now it's an email. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL! It's a pleasure, a thrill and a genuine sunny day in Ohio when I watch your show. The darkest days are brightened by your humor, your smiles and your treatment of people and animals throughout the world! No wonder you were picked BEST of Everything at the People's Awards.
I invite you to our town of Stow, Ohio this summer as we have a wonderful and special Bow Wow Beach Dog Park. Our Lions club is sponsoring their second annual PawFest and would love you to visit and see what our town has done for the dogs around Stow and other cities - IT'S A HOOT! Gladys would love it too!
Enjoy and savor every moment of your special 50th - I've beat you by 13 years and love every day I wake up. You go girl...and call me some time - it's on my voice mail!

Love ya, Marty from Stow, OH

Dearest Ellen, I would just like to wish you a very HAPPY 50TH B-DAY! Can you please do me an favor, don't forget to call Betty White. I don't remember the exact date, I do know her birthday is in January. Also, it's that time to give Gladys a call. I think you should set a day of the week, & one week out of each month to call her. Say, like every third Wednesday of the month, & let that be Gladys day. Can you please try to get Sam Elliot on your show? Also, I think Conchata Ferrell from Two and a half men. I just read that she will be 65 in March. She does not look it all. Happy 50th again! LUV YA! Love, Di
