Sending much love to your entire family ....
Ellen.. was truly a bright light that lived her Faith and shared it in every way.She impacted my life in more ways than I can express...She was with me and prayed for my family when my grandmother passed and she has prayed for my entire family in these past years. I still have a powerful voicemail that is saved from her..."I love you and God loves you too!"....I am beyond grateful to have known her....I will never forget her and because of her I too will continue to share God´s message of Hope!

I am sorry for your loss but I am celebrating with you that Ellen is with Jesus and her beloved Harry! Ellen was a good friend to my parents Ed and Sarabyrle Ferguson and she read to my dad every week by phone for several years before he died in December 2019. She continued to stay in touch with me and encourage me. She was a wonderful woman and example of servant hood. I am praying for your family.
