Sister Ellis was one of the First Ladies who welcomed me to church when I moved here from CA away from all of my friends & family. She was truly a Godly woman who loved all & showed that love toward me always. I will miss her but know she's looking into the face of Jesus & totally healed. I pray for her family & pray for those who need to accept the free gift of salvation. See you soon Sister Ellis.
