Condolence: Condolences from the Burrow family. So sorry for your loss. I remember going to Western Auto when I was young and enjoying all the things Gene had to offer. He was kind and caring and took time to greet everyone that crossed his path. He passed that own to his loving children whom we have had the pleasure of knowing. His children are a great tribute to him and a lasting impression of his life that will never fade. Thank God for allowing Mr. Gene Ellis to cross my pathway in life.God Bless.

Condolence: Leta, Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and your family. Your Dad was a true friend of mine and I appreciated his friendship through the years. May he rest in Peace. Sincerely. Steve Fairchild

Condolence: I lived in Grand Saline for 16+ years. Gene was one of the first I met at the post office. He never judged me on my appearance and always had jokes and stories to tell. We bought several items from his antique store we still have to this day. Sorry or you loss of this one-of-a-kind soul.- T.

Condolence: So very sad for your loss. He was a wonderful, caring person and will be missed by many. Thoughts and prayers for strength, peace, and comfort.

Condolence: Very sorry for your loss. What memories I have of Mr Ellis some of my best we're going in the store as a kid and buying fishing lures,bicycle tubes ,BBs for my Daisy BB gun. But most of all just talking to Gene was a treat. Truly a wonderful man. God bless!!

Condolence: I met Gene when we moved back to Grand Saline in 2008. My older family lived near his at Round Flat when Gene and my older brothers were growing up -- and the Ellises were a household name. Such a sweet man. And I hear that from everyone who ever knew him. So sorry for his family's loss. I will think of him with his Sweetheart.

Condolence: Leta we are so very sorry to hear of your families loss. Your dad was one of a kind and he was a great guy. Mr Gene will be greatly missed and we pray for you and your family at this sad time.

Condolence: I'm so sorry for your lost. Death is truly a tragic thing to deal with. However the bible say that there is going to be a resurrection at Acts 24:15. So we all do have a hope of being reunited with our dead loves ones. (John 5:28,29) We can believe this because God is the creator of life and the one who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. (Psalm 36:9 ; Acts 17:24,25) He has also resurrected humans in the past and the bible reports eight instances of humans young, old, male and female who were brought back to life on earth. Some had been dead for a short while, but one had been in a tomb for 4 days. (read John 11:39-44) And finally God hates death, he views it as a enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of this resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again, so until that promise is fulfilled may the God Of Comfort be with you during this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
