To the Family,

You have my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother and wife. I too loss my spiritual sister, advisor and friend - but I have so many memories to look back on.

God blessed me many years ago when I met Ellen Greenhill. Her encouragement, knowledge and wisdom made me seek to know more about Jesus. Ellen wasn’t one to ask you to do anything; she simply said what she was going to do. She was "God's advertisement" and people wanted what they saw in her.

Be encouraged with the words of God, which states, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

Be encouraged that she is in God's hands.
