Dear sweet Ellen was born an angel. She brought her gifts to us. She taught us love, patience, kindness, laughter and gentleness. To me she was the picture of God’s perfection of a human being. She was so tiny but gave the biggest hugs to EVERYONE, and always the most beautiful smile. She will always stay with us. Our little sweet pea.❤️❤️❤️
