I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although it may seem that not much of anything can help at the moment, it is very encouraging to take comfort from God's word the bible. He tells us at Revelation 21:4, 'death will be no more.' Soon we won't have to suffer the pain of losing a loved one and we have the wonderful hope of seeing them again (John 11:25). I hope this brings you comfort as it has for me. Please accept my warm condolences.

One of my fondest memories is working with Ellis on several plays and shows at the Baum Senior Center in Kill Devil Hills.  He was a delightful friend and always added a touch of whimsy to whatever we were doing.  A patriot and a wonderful American; he will be missed, but remembered for his contributions to the human race. Tom Filkins, Director, playwright, actor, and friend of Ellis.
