To Ellis’ wife and family,
I am so sorry of your loss. When Ellis lived in Shelby, I prepared his tax return for many years. I considered him a personal friend.
I am so glad he got into church; and now he is in a better place than we are.
God bless you and yours!

Shirley Conley Watley - May 11, 2011

Jewel, I am a cousin from Kentucky. Ellis B and I were close at one time while growing up, but then let time and distance part us. I am so very happy that Ellis B was going to church and is now with Jesus. We can all see each other again one day. I got your address from Mona, but just never sent a card. Now, I am so sorry that I didn’t let him know that I was thinking of him and keeping him in my prayers.
Jewel, Dema, Arthur, Alden, Dentis, Delmas, Leslie, and family, I have you in my heart and will keep praying that God will give you comfort and strength at this difficult time. May God bless each of you.
