Ellie was a special gift from God. A spirit who loved to create. Painting, cooking, pottery and spending time with Family brought her joy. Never one to back down from a debate but always had an abundance of love for those she engaged. She took great pride in doing her job and was always over the moon with joy after spending time with her 2nd cousin Maria’s young son “JJ”. If only we could bottle that joy and share it with the world.
“I could’ve missed the pain
But I’d had to miss the dance”
The pain we feel is so great but the dance we shared was priceless and your memory will live on all the days of our lives…See you soon “but not yet”.
