Ellie touched my life in so many ways. By her courage and her strength to fight even when life was so hard to battle. She never gave up. She pushed for every breath. I have never known Ellie on a personal level but through her moms friendship I feel I knew Ellie. I loved Ellie so much because she gave me courage to stand with my son who was fighting right long side her in his own cancer battle. Ellie I will never forget you and I will never stop beleiving in miracles. You got your healing. Though God chose to heal you in heaven, you are free of the bounds of cancer and I look forward to the promise that I will see you one day and I can hug you and say thank you for your braveness and for sharing your smile with the world. You will forever be a light to us all. And forever Amy, I am thankful that you shared your beautiful Ellie with the world. She will forever be my inspiration. Love to you all Potvin Family

I didn't know Ellie but I've been following updates about her via Twitter. I truly am sorry for your lost. This hurts me to my heart. Two years ago when Ellie began her battle my cousin, Talia Marie Pleasant lost her's, so I know the pain Ellie's family feels. To Ellie's mom and dad your baby doesn't have to suffer anymore. I know the pain is undescribable and no words can change that. Ellie sister, Grace Idk what to say, the bond between sisters especially twins is unbreakable, Ellie will always be with you. That is a bond NEVER breaks.
ELLIE LIVES ON!!!!
FIND A CURE. FIND A CURE. FIND A CURE!!!!!!!

I enjoyed having Ellie in my life for the past 8 months. All the little funny stories you talked about just made me smile everytime. I miss hearing them already. But thank God she is no longer suffering and is free! I am praying for your family through this hard time. Remember Ellie will always watch over you and be with you even if you don't think so. She was so beautiful. She helped me become closer to God and I am forever thankful for that. She will forever have a place in my heart. She was an angel on Earth but now she is a angel in Heaven.<3

Dear Potvin Family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks at the thought of the pain you are experiencing here on earth. But I also know that Ellie is alive with Jesus, what a victory for her! She went to heaven during earth's most beautiful time of year, when everything is in bloom and there are plenty of butterflies and flowers. I am certain she is with God's angels, surrounded by more beautiful butterflies and flowers than we can imagine!

I have followed Ellie's 'story' almost from the beginning. All 3 of my sons participated in the 24 Hours of Booty (Lance Armstrong fundraiser) w/Ellie's name upon their backs. (The oldest actually came to the hospital to visit w/little Ellie) I have laughed & I have cried...Ellie was such a beautiful child-inside & out! I'm sorry your time here w/her was short but some day you will rejoin her where time matters not because in Christ there are no goodbyes. Love & prayers to the Potvin family.

You have touched my life, and I didn't even ever get to meet you on this earth. I pray your family knows true peace that only our Lord can bring. Thank you for being a shining light in the midst of a terrible disease, which you did not allow to overtake you, ever. You always fought back courageously. You inspire me.

Angel Ellie,
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes your family & friends watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although they loved you dearly,
They could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
A fighting girl at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Amy, Tim & Grace
My heart is breaking for all of you. I will keep all of you in my prayers & may god bless you all as we know he is with Ellie. Much Love To All of You Always.

I pray that your sorrow will be eased by the knowledge that Ellie is playing on God's beach now and is wrapped in his arms being showered with love and laughter. You are an incredible family. Ellie was incredibly blessed to have walked through her journey through cancer with such warriors at her side. You never gave up hope..never relinquished your faith to that horrid disease. Because of you, Ellie was encouraged to have a fighting spirit and in the end a spirit that was willing to join God and leave behind a legacy of love, strength and courage that all of us share. God Bless you all.

Today I am grateful the I was lucky enough to have ordered Ellie's Angel painting and I will always have it to treasure and to remind me of this precious baby girls' journey that deeply touched my soul. God is so good for allowing me to have been a part of such an amazing child's life if even from a distance! I love Ellie and all of you too. Thank you for giving of Ellie to me and my heart aches and rejoices at the same time for this journey having to come to an end although I am ever so grateful that Ellie no longer has to suffer here on eart but now flies high with the angels and with Jesus. What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see? Love to you all!

Ellie was truly a special little girl. I've never seen anyone fight as long and as hard against her cancer as Ellie. But now she is in a truly calm, serene and beautiful place. She is in the arms of God. I pray for Ellie's parents and especially for Grace. She's lost someone who was her other half. They did everything together and were always there for each other. I pray that God holds Ellie's family in His arms and helps them get through this very difficult time. Joyce (Buffalo, NY)

If you could see me now you wouldn’t shed a tear.
Though you may not understand why I’m no longer there.
Remember my spirit that is the real me because I’m still very
Much alive, I’ve just been set free, Oh, if you could only see!
I have beheld our Father’s face and I’ve touched my Savior’s
Hand. All of Heaven’s angels rejoiced as I entered the promised
Land. Beyond the gates of pearl I’ve walked on the golden streets.
I’ve touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the
Crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could
Compare, I’ve even seen your mansion and someday
I’ll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because
His Word will show you the way! So please don’t
Cry because we will meet again someday.
Dear Potvin family, Your strength and faith in God - your courage in the most trying time a family could endure - is inspiring to those who've lost hope. God bless you and surround you with Peace.
If you could see me now you wouldn’t shed a tear. Though you may not understand why Im no longer there. Remember my spirit that is the real me

Tim & Amy - What an honor for you to have created an Angel named Ellie to share with your family and friends for just a short time here on Earth. She is now your Guardian Angel up in Heaven watching over you. I am sure you will be able to feel her presense as God leads you through the next chapter in your life.
Grace - you are an Angel too! For you to stay strong for your sister through all of this must have been very difficult. But you showed that your name is not just a name it is your character as well. Ellie will always be a part of you, and wherever you go I know she will be right beside you.
I've never met any of you but I've followed your story on Caring Bridge and I am so thankful that I got to because your family has inspired me to be a better mom, wife, sister, daughter.
My heart aches so badly for your family! I pray that God heals your pain...I can't even imagine how unbearable it must be.
God Bless!

To the Potvin family, I'm so thrilled to know your beautiful little angel is in the hands of God in Heaven. I even still cry sometimes because even though I don't know your family, vibrant little Ellie has touched me more than anything in my 15 years of living. She is most definitely the epitome of optimism, love, bravery, kindness and so many other things that I could not possibly contain in this message. To the Potvin family and Ellie's friends, I hope you will all be healed by the loving grace of God and know Ellie is one of the most beautiful angels in Heaven.

I know that saying I'm sorry won't be enough to take away the pain you may be feeling right now, but I can't find any other words to say how I'm feeling. My mother lost her battle against cancer almost two years ago. The only thing that comforted me in the first days was thinking that she wasn't suffering any more and that she was in heaven with God, taking care of all of us. May God guide you and your family through this difficult moment. Love from Argentina, Gaby

In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away.
Our hearts were broken,
We wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home. ~Anonymous
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Tim, Amy and Grace. I will never forget her. She has touched so many lives and I am so thankful that I was one of them. I am also thankful that God has her now and she is no longer suffering.
Rest in peace, Sweet Ellie.

I did not know the Potvin's personally but while following them on caringbridge.com this is what I observed. Ellie was the epitome of kindness, sincerety and love. She gave more than she took. She always saw the glass as half full. She loved her God, family, friends, dancing, singing and life. She was blessed by a loving and giving family. My heart goes out to Amy, Tim, Grace and all of her other relatives and friends. She will be one of most beautiful angels in heaven. Ellie, I hope you are singing and dancing and painting. Pink and white balloons will be flying high in the air from my home in Milton, WI on saturday.
