Sincere condolences to the Ellison Family. My deceased husband had been a close friend of Hank since their young lives at Texas Southern University. I'll always remember the first time I met him. I loved his personality, and humble demeanor!!! I'm truly saddened to learn of his earthly transition. May your family be comforted by the Lord Almighty!!!

Dear Ellison Family,
My deepest and sincere condolences and prayers to all of you. I will miss Mr. Willie so very much! When ever I had an opportunity I would visit him. Since he lived closed to my job. Mr. Willie and Mrs. B. Visor-Ellison was a joy in my life since we met when we worked at Yates HS years ago. I love both of them. He will be missed.

I remember meeting him my freshman year in high school I'm now a junior and I'm completely devastated to hear of his passing I actually met this man I shook his hand out of all the substitute teachers I've had in my life Mr. Willie was the only teacher I had full respect for whenever he sub for my class I would tell the class respect this man don't make him have a bad day let's be the best class he's taught so he can come back again. After my freshman year passed I would see him in the halls and I would purposely be late to class just to talk to him say hello ask him how he's been hearing that he has passed Is heartbreaking His family was blessed with a man of courage dedication and strength my deepest condolences to his family and friends he will be someone I will never ever forget.

Dear Bereaved Family,
Please accept my sincerest condolences, regarding the "homegoing" of your loved one. Willie was the "Best Man" in my wedding and a very dear friend. He will always have a special place in my heart.
Please remember scripture: "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". You will be remembered in my prayers for "strength" during this time of bereavement. God Bless!!
