It was both a privilege and pleasure getting to know and spend time with Alain and Harvey in the latter stages of their lives. They both offered remarkable lessons of trust and faith in their Savior, in their all-loving, wise and sovereign Lord. Revelation 14:13, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord . . . they will rest from their labor.’ A friend from Eastminster . . .
Dr. Ellis was a good friend for over 25 years and a dedicated follower of Jesus. I will miss him.
