Ellie was a very special little girl who stole the hearts of everyone she met. She had a special love for people and greeted everyone with a smile and open arms. When God led our family to bring one of his children into our home, we proclaimed Jeremiah 29:11 for her. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." God's perfect plan is complete; she is now in heaven with the infinite hope and future. She is dancing with angels and being held in the arms of Jesus. Our hearts hurt with grief and loss. However, Jesus is holding us in his arms with his nail scarred hands. We feel blessed that God choose our family to share the time we had with her. Praise God, because we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, we have the assurance we will see Ellie again.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in Spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him." Psalm 34:6

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to help other orphans find forever families. A trust fund has been set up at First Peoples Bank, Pine Mtn. GA and Bethesda Baptist, Ellerslie, GA.
