Willine Ellis

But when I closed my eyes, I heard the most amazing singing I had ever heard. I opened my eyes and the brightest light, even brighter than the sun, was shining; I looked down and saw I was standing on new legs and streets of gold!!! I realized, I am in no pain and I have the most amazing feeling of joy! I look up and see the biggest gates I have ever seen. They are made of pearl. I can see through them and I see my Daddy Grover and Momma Shelly; my sisters Margaret, Barbara Jean and Phyllis. There's Little Willie (Frank), my husband and Darrell, my son!!! I realized I was in heaven and had to send this note; To my girls and my son, to all the children I have raised to my Nieces and Nephews, my Cousin and Family, to all my church members, friends:

Don't be sad for me and remember you can see me again one day! Just look for me in the Choir or by my Savior's feet. I have to go now, the gates just opened and they are calling my name. I hope to see all of you again on day. Just know I love each one of you so much!

Love, Willine
