I'm going to really miss my uncle Pickle! I enjoyed spending time with him. It won't be the same not seeing him when I go down to cut the grass. I appreciate the long conversation and the jokes we had. When I'm feeling down, I could always talk to my uncle pic and he would brighten my day! Rest In Peace until we meet again. Nephew- Abraham (Mug)

My uncle Eliis will truly be missed! He was genuine. He kept us laughing and when he didn't see you he would always ask about you. He loved and lived life because he kept it so simple. It's comforting to know that he's not gone forever but in just a little while longer death will be no more because we have the assured hope of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29 & Acts 24:15) So rest for a little while uncle pic! Niece- Patricia (Nancy)

Rest In Peace my quiet humble schoolmate. You will be missed. Praying for the family.

Billy J & Ann T Porter Columbus, Georgia

Uncle Ellis,

Thank you for the laughter, the direct quotes and the quiet and humble spirit. You will be missed, but I know that you are happy now. Your smile is brighter, the sunrise is beautiful and the sunset never ends.

Revelation 21:4 states, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Therefore, clear your eyes, smile and Dance in Heaven! Your Nephew-in-Law, Stanley Green, LTC (ret.)
