JAMES ELY Obituary

Happy Birthday, Jim, Dad and Papa. This year we will remember all the years gone by, birthday BBQ's, ice cream, cake and all the family together. What wonderful times we shared. You are missed by all. We have received so many beautiful cards, flowers, calls and loving thoughts from those who knew you. We would like to thank them all for their kindness. Many sent to the Veteran's Guest House and Sparks Nazarene Youth Group. Words seem so little for the gifts given. This is a reflection of your caring and generosity; your friendship and love will carry on in the lives of those left behind. Thank you for the memories...all our love, the Ely Family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
