When people die, their legacy follows like the wake of a boat steaming toward its destination.
Among the many people Kodiak recently bade final farewell to are Ellen Ross, Bob Bunsey and Lucien Bernard. All three will be remembered and revered for their vibrant, outspoken faith, which translated into action.
Ellen had a heart for the shut-ins. She and her husband, the late Bill Ross, often visited residents of the long-term Care Center at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center. They started their ministry in 1984 and kept doing it for 28 years.Â
âWhat I enjoyed most was coming here, seeing these faces and loving them,â Ellen said in an article from the Care Center. âI was here every Sunday except when we were fishing during the summer. There was always a volunteer to fill in if I couldnât make it.â
I’m concerned about Kodiak. You see, I love my new hometown, and I’m worried that more and more people — for whatever reason — are choosing not to live here.
