My Grandpa Ellis passed away the end of October. It was sad, but it was also a relief. He was in a lot of pain at the end. I am grateful for families and the atonement. I want to share with you some memories of him (some are mine and some belong to others). He LOVED to go camping. It would always bring a smile to our faces to see him raise his cane up into a guitar position and pretend to strum the stings as he sang a song around the campfire. This man LOVED caffeine free Diet Pepsi. I guess that's where I developed my love for the taste of diet pepsi over diet coke. He loved his wife dearly, but they could really get on each other's nerves! "Oh, Verna! Why don't you go fly a kite?!" Hahaha Gene was a man with a sense of humor. He was also an honest, hardworking man all his life. Rest in peace, Grandpa. We love you!
