Message: I was a young girl in Ellendale, ND when I first met Ilene and her siblings. She was always working. So positive and fun to be around. What a lovely lady. When in Carrington visiting my sister, I would try to make it up to the Chieftain to at least say Hello.

Message: I would like to express my condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this. A comforting thought is at Revelation 21:3,4, where it states "...And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry be anymore the former things have past away". This scripture gives us hope for the future! You can also find comfort in Acts 24:15 - Death does not end it all. May Jehovah bring you comfort and peace during this difficult time.
