I never had the pleasure of meeting her but I am assured of meeting her one day when we are all called to glory. I know that she is happy in the arms of Jesus!

Chance & Emily,
We cannot begin to imagine your sorrow.  Ellie is so very blessed to have experienced your loving family during her short time here.  I still remember meeting her at the football field last year for the first time.  She had all of her brothers and that bright smile as her proud Daddy showed her off and sweet Mother watched her.  You are so blessed to know Christ as your Savior and know that this is not good-bye.  We cannot wait to see her again in Heaven.  May God continue to bless your family.

Dear precious Chance, Emily and boys,
We are deeply saddened about little Ellie.  2Corinthians 3:2 comes to my mind as I remember her.  Emily was a letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody that saw or met her.  She showed that she was a letter from Christ, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,  not on tablets of stone but on the tablets of human hearts.   Emily lived the very heart of Christ.  Psalms 139 tells us that she was fearfully and wonderfully made and all the days of her life were ordained for her and written in God's book before even one of them came to be.  I praise God that you allow God to put himself, his heart on display and that He is your portion, your strength, your peace.  The letter of Ellie's life will continue to be read and we all wait to see the wonders that God will perform through it.  We know that He is not finished yet.  There are so many orphans in our world.  We know that true religion is caring for the widows and orphans.  I love you dear ones.  I am praying for you and share your grief.  But praise God that He does not leave us or forsake us, but is our strength and our peace.
Love, Ramona Loudermilk

Chance and Emily, 
We continue to pray for you to feel GOD's arms wrapped around you.  We search for just the right words to express how we feel, but can't find them.  Just know how much each of you are loved and how much Ellie is loved. You words are so beautiful about this precious little angel and the blessing she has been.  She is in the arms of Jesus and she will greet you with open arms again.  We love each of you more than we can say.  
With all our love, prayers and support,

Dear Emily and Chance,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. God promises to give us strength and comfort - You blessed Ellie, God's precious child, for a short time and now and forever, she will spend Eternity in Heaven with the One who Created Her. May you be filled with God's hope of knowing you will one day be reunited forever with Ellie and all those who have entered Heaven before you. What a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus... face to face.  
Wanda, Robert, Laurel and Amy Clark
