Barry, Roscoe, Margie & Family:

We cannot think of a better person to be sitting with the Angels at this appointed hour. Ella was a jewel and she is shinning even brighter now. She is free from all pain and discomfort. I was so delighted to see her in the new Ukrop's a couple of weeks ago. Her strength, perserverance and winning smile was infectious to all who knew and loved her. We join with you in thanking God for her life and the opportunity to have known her. May the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you and your family now and in the days to come.

Love and Blessings.

Dear Pegeas Family,

I am so very sorry to hear about Ella's passing. I met Ella, Barry, and Patrice about 4years ago while serving with one of the outreach ministries at St. Paul's. Your personal testimony was incredible. Your light, love, and genuineness were both powerful and resonating. May God envelope your family with comfort and strength as you mourn Ella's earthly departure.

Your entire family remain in my prayers and thoughts,
