To Mary Lou and the rest of the Ellis family, my condolences. I did not know your mother well, but I remember her being kind and gracious on those few times I was in her presence. I know her loss must be heavy on your hearts.

A wonderful woman who will be missed by so many. Since her passing I have been singing an old gospel hymn which has these words: "What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see...What a Day, Glorious Day, that will be!!" Much love to the entire family.
