Ellen was the director of the Christian Campus House when I was attending CMSU. She was a mentor, a friend and a beacon to finding a closer relationship with Jesus. She will be truly missed.

Ellen was the Director of the Christian Canpus House at CMSU in Warrensburg, Mo while I was going to college there. She was a mentor, a trusted friend and most of all a guiding beacon to knowing our Lord Jesus Christ. I will never forget the impact she had on my life and many others. She was loved and will be truly missed. Meet you in heaven, Ellen one day. Love you!
