Wilbert & Mitchell,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. Know that she is resting with the Lord. The word says that to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. Caste your cares on the Lord for he cares for you. Dwell in the secret place of the most high; our eternal God who is our refuge. Praying for you and your family.

Wilbert, Eunicetine and Mitchell, Very sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a wonderful and caring lady with a heart of gold. I will always remember the gracious hospitality that your parents extended to me on my week-end retreats to their home. Many years have passed but I'll never forget their graciousness. "May the Peace of the Lord be with you now and always".

Miss Ellen was one of the most beautiful
people that I have had the privilege
to know. God loans us the beautiful
angels of his flock. We enjoy them for what seems like such a short time, and
then he calls them back to his bosom.
Miss Ellen's spirit will always walk beside your family. God bless you all
in this time of grief.

Eunestine, Wilbert, Mitchell and Family,
Your mother is more than a cousin, but an honored member of our family. Uncle Noel and Grandma created strong sons and daughters with character that will live for generations to come. The relationship "Ellie" had with Aunt Kate and Momma is an example set for all of us. They looked out for each other and talked everyday.
I will cherish my conversations and her sharing handkerchiefs with me.
As a family we will be praying together and helping each other in many ways. The strength of God will sustain you and keep you. The memories created will add comfort and His arms will bring peace.
May the peace of God that passes all understanding keep you in His loving care.
Blessings and Love,
Your Cousin-Tricia
