Joseph Ellis Memoriam

In Loving Memory of our dear Husband, Dad, and "Papa Joe" Joseph M. ELLIS 8/14/1943 10/28/2008
A light is from our household gone, a voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. Some may think you are forgotten though on earth you are no more; But in memory you are with us as you always were before. But if we could have a lifetime wish, a dream that would come true, we'd pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday and you. A thousand words can't bring you back, we know because we've tried; and Neither will a million tears, we know because we've cried. You left behind our broken hearts and happy memories too. But we never wanted memories, we only wanted you.
With all our love,
Julia, Bill and Angie,
Vanessa and Charles Clare, Will, "Baby" Joseph and Katie
