Not sure what to say?

My thoughts are with the Ellis family during this difficult time.
Christine Yared (Woodrow and Jane's daughter)

Please accept our deepest sympathies.. Joey was a wonderful, fun loving, kind, woman whom we enjoyed spending time with... especially when we spent summers in GR visiting our grandmother.. May she rest in Peace. All our love.. From your cousins "out East"..... Cindy, Edward & David and Ed and Dolores..

May she rest in peace and be with you all through this difficult time. She was one of the sweetest, genuine woman I have every met. God be with her.

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.

We will miss you Aunt Joey-always kind, warm and thoughtful. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family during this difficult time.

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.

My prayers go out to Mr.Ellis, Marcia, Mary Lou , Eddie and the entire Ellis family.Mrs Ellis was the sweetest and kindest lady.She had kind words for everyone and she always had a beautiful smile for everyone. God rest her soul and God bless her family.

I remember I was in high school and her daughter Mary and I hung around together.When I would be at Mary's house her Mom was so nice.Later as a nurse I would see her volunteering at the hospital and she always had kind words with me

Joey was sweet, gentle, loving, generous and kind with a heart of pure gold. Sending love and prayers to Jr, Mary Lou, Marsha, Ed and families during this very difficult time. Spirit eternal!
