Jonathon Ellis, an employee of Illinois Growth Enterprises in Loves Park, holds up a poster that says “NIU: Our prayers are with you.”

After the tragic shooting at the university last week, Ellis felt led to do something special for Terry Starliper, a production manager at IGE whose daughter attends NIU. With encouragement from his floor supervisor, Mark Janz, Ellis made a poster and asked other IGE workers to sign it. Director of Development Valerie Johnson says Ellis will present the poster to Starliper on Monday to send to his daughter at NIU.
