I was so intensely moved, having just finished watching the movie "Perfect 14", that I was in tears at the end with Elly succumbing to ovarian cancer.
I was so happy watching her journey, and recovery and then for her to get to New York. She was ascending, working to reach her plateau, then to see it all come to an end...I was totally crushed. I didn't see that ending coming. I was so excited for her, following along on her journey. Cancer is a devastating disease, and I'm no stranger to the toll it takes on a person. I lost my mother and an aunt to breast cancer, an uncle to prostate cancer, and a close friend to pancreatic cancer. To watch Elly fight how she did, with such endurance and perseverance, while working to attain her dream made her a "Super Woman" in my eyes! God bless her parents for bringing forth into this world such a strong, and courageous spirit...I'm sure you must be very proud. My heart goes out to them. Thank you Elly for sharing your journey with us. Know that you have raised the bar in the representation of the curvy woman. You have shown us that it should undoubtedly be done with our heads held high as we walk with pride, confidence, and dignity. You have spread your wings, and are flying high...you are now truly an angel. RIP (Rest In Power) Elly...you have left your mark upon the world. You did that..girl you slayed it!!

I am so moved by this young woman and her story. I know you have heard it all before but this story has inspired me. Why did this beautiful soul have to be “the advocate for ovarian cancer challenges”
Why couldn’t she live a life like most girls her age
I wish I could answer that but I can’t
One thing I do know is that she is THE EPITOME of a fighter.
There are very few people that have/will exist like her. She bared the burden of a hero and through her story we are all a little more humbled. She embodies strength even gone more than some still walking this earth.
As her family, what an angel on earth! And now in heaven. You did an amazing job raising this gem.

To the family: your heavenly Father want you to have thoughts of peace during your time of bereavement. Talk to him in prayer, he will listen to you. He want you to have the hope that he promise; there will be no more pain, no more death and he will wipe the tears from all faces. One thing God cannot do is lie.

You touched my heart and gave me support, all the way here in NZ in 2014 when i was loosing my sister to ovarian cancer after i reached out to you. I only found out today that you passed. I am completely devastated. On 2nd march 2019 i found out i also have cancer. Leukemia. Because of Elly and my sister i decided to have a radical hysterectomy to prevent getting ovarian cancer. May you dance and rest with the angels.
Love for all her family and close friends. She was the best.

I think of you every day Elly and i cannot believe you are gone. You were our beacon of light. To millions of people you were our hero, fighting for your life with grace, humour and courage. I will never ever forget how inspiring you were. God bless your family, especially your mother, in these tough times. We know you are watching over us always. Sleep well sweet Elly.

Thank you for sharing your story. I never met you but was silently cheering for you. I had been following you for years and you had become a familiar face and a warm smile. How can someone going through so much give off such light and strength? I was uplifted by someone going through a horrible illness. It amazes me.

Our dear Elly, I have followed you for just over two and a half years. I was so heartbroken when I heard the news. You meant so much to SO many people. I was diagnosed with serious carcinoma high grade ovarian cancer and started googling - how lucky was I to have found you on Instagram and Facebook. You were and still are a big inspiration to me. You will always be in my heart and you have kept me going through my journey. You are a presious soul and I have learned so much from you. I truly wish I could have met you in person. God bless your family, may they find better days ahead. Lots of love to you all. Xoxo

To the loving and supportive family and friends of Elly Mayday please accept my sincere sympathy for your loss and sadness during this time. Elly was very courageous at such a young age and her own body awareness led to the right diagnosis. Death is never easy, please accept this passage as you would a Kleenex to wipe away a tear. He remembered us when we were low, for his loyal love endures forever.- Psalms 136:23
