I Did Not Know Mrs. Ellars But I Know How Hard It Can Be To Lose A Loved One In Death So I Wanted To Say I Am Very Sorry For Your Loss. The Scripture That Has Given Me Comfort At Times Like This Is The One Found At Revelation 21:4 That Says, “And He Will Wipe Out Every Tear From Their Eyes, And Death Will Be No More, Neither Will Mourning Nor Outcry Nor Pain Be Anymore. The Former Things Have Passed Away.” So God Has Promised That In The Very Near Future We Will Never Have To Experience The Pain Associated With Death Anymore. I Pray That This Gives The Family Some Comfort During This Difficult Time.

Our Deepest Sympathy To All Of The Ellars Family Members. Our Family Grew Up A Few Houses Away And Went To School With Danny And Chi Chi. Ginny’S House Was Always The Favorite House To Go. Her Welcoming Nature, And A Snack And Cold Drink, Not To Mention The Opportunity To Play. With Loving Memories,
