Willie Carlos Ellerbe

To the Ellerbe Family: Terri Isaiah and Carlie,

I would like to let you know that I love you and miss seeing your smiling faces. And not to mention Carlos' smiling face. Getting to know Carlos as a Minister and a inspring Christian meant a lot to me and then finding out that were cousins made it even sweeter. I will never forget how Carlos and Joe would converse together many night on the phone, which Joe loved to do with him.
Carlos was a man who was easy to love and I...

Carlos, as a young man in Gaineville, your friendship and words to me were something i really enjoyed. You went from a skinny young man to that hulking guy that would look at me and give me that HUGE laugh you had...these words express how you enriched my life.
"You were here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and acheivement. You were here to enrich the world!"
Thanks Carlos!

CARLOS,
You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race. You have kept the faith. Now there is in store for you the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteousness judge will award you on that day---and not only to you, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4.6-8. Hallelujah

Terri,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you feel comfort in knowing that Carlos is at home with our heavenly father. May your family feel God's loving arms around you today and the many days ahead. May you know that you are also surrounded by family and friends that care for you and are here when you need them. May the memories you have continue to live in your heart forever.

Without love,life is empty and void
of meaning. Love includes God's love for us,our love for God,our love for others,love in family. I am thinking about you, Dottie, Terri and children, Jeanine, and Keith and wishing you peace and gentle comfort at this difficult loss of Carlos. Be comforted in knowing that Carlos understood God's love and freely gave to others.
I watched him grow up to become the man he was.I miss him,too.

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS AND KEEP ALL OF YOU DOING THIS TIME OF GRIEF IN OUR LIVES.CAUSE NO MATTER WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH, REMEMBER THAT GOD IS ALWAYS THERE.CAUSE THE BATTLE IS NOT OURS IT'S THE LORD'S.HE'S ALWAYS THERE TO COMFORT US.I LOVE YOU, YOUR SISTER,AND AUNTIE.

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear. We share your grief.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
