"I want you to know that there is absolutely no doubt that I am in Heaven. Not by my own worthiness, but only through the mercy of Jesus Christ my Savior, who paid the price for my soul's redemption through His death on the cross. I committed my life to Christ when I was 5. I want to encourage my loved ones and friends to place their faith and trust in Him alone for their salvation. May God grant you peace, love and strength as He guides all of you through life. Then at the end time, we will be reunited in Heaven as a happy family" ~ Ellen
