As the first anniversary of Luella's passing approaches we are thinking of her and her family during this time.

Stacy, We are so saddened to hear of Ellie's passing especially so soon after Jim.. She was such a strong and active person. I am glad I got a chance to meet both of them. Len & Meg

Goodbye to dear sister Ellie. So many happy times when we were young. Gone to join all those beautiful brothers and your wonderful husband. My love and sympathy to all the Smith family. It has been a hard year.

Dear Stacia, thoughts and prayers for you and your family in this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. You were very fortunate to have had Aunt Ellie in your lives for so many years. Sending comfort, and wishing you all better days ahead. Penny Saunders Hall

Sorry Jason and Family for the loss of another loved one. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Feel free to reach out if there's anything we can do during this time.

My condolences to the Saunders and Smith families. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of dear Ellie. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering.
