I send my condolences to the Ellis family.
The power of God’s love will carry you through.
I will miss Rev Ellis. The last time I talked to him, I told him about the sermon he gave at one our family reunion, Keeping it Real. I told him, that I found a tee shirt with those words on it.
He was surprised with laughter. I will remember the sound of his laughter over the telephone. I will never forget those words.
KEEPING IT REAL
