My condolences goes out to the Ellis family. I remember James as a kind man, who worked with my daughter Candice with her music and took her into his family. I remember him and Lizzie coming to my house getting her together for college and even drove her to Whitewater for college. James was a person who you could go to and would pray with you. James loved God and was a man of God RIH, James!

To my Eldest Brother of 7 James Earl Ellis "Mr.JEE" Times like this is very hard for all of us. If I could turn back the hands of time I would have known just what to have done for you but, only God's time is the Best time. If I could tell people all of the things you taught us as the Oldest LOL it would go on and on. I understand life and death and I understand that surely when you are born surely you will die but man was this unexpected and my Flesh weeps but my soul rejoice that you are in the Mansion that God has prepared for us. I'm Glad I got the chance to talk to you the Morning before you got on that chariot and the Peace in the Conversation gave me Closure. I'll end this with I Loved you then and I will always Love you Brother. P.S "Till we meet again"

To the Ellis Family: May the God of all comfort give you peace at this most difficult time. Pleas read 2 Corinthians 1:2-4 and John 5:28,29 Where Jesus gives us a beautiful hope that is soon to be realized. That is the hope of the resurrection" What a blessing for your family and mine.
