Thinking of y’all during this tough time

My condolences to the Ellenson family. Mere words cannot take away the sadness that comes from the loss of one so dear to you. So I hope that you will find a measure of comfort in remembering all the good your father (and mother too) brought into your lives, leaving you happy memories that can never be taken away. In God’s loving care, they now rest. John 5:28, 29; Psalm 37:29
You will be greatly miss !!

Such fond memories of you from high school Gordy. Although we live many miles apart,we connected on Facebook. Condolences to his family as I knew how much they meant to him. A man with many great qualities.
Going to miss you Gordo sympathies to everyone
From Doreen Decker, LaVerne and Margie Schelske,
We attended the funeral service on line and I have to say the music was very touching. The
speaker was very good, she was able to personalize the words she spoke. It was great to
have someone who actually knew Bop, who really spoke with him and the family give encouraging
words to us all. Our prayers and hearts are with the whole family! May God bless you in this sad
time and lift you up when you think you will see him again in heaven!
