Ellianna Strocchio Obituary
Ellianna Jane Strocchio was born to her parents, Frank and Taunya, and her big brother Frankie. They were blessed to receive this angel on loan from heaven for four years. Everyone that was blessed enough to know Ellie benefited from the love she gave so generously. Her light shined so brightly, the stars envied her. We all envied her for her selflessness, humor, wit, charm and love. She made everyone she knew feel special. It will take the rest of us our entire lives to achieve what she did during her vivacious four year journey. She gave gifts to her family and friends that were so great they will last far beyond what time can measure. There will be a celebration of her life on Saturday the 24th of January at 1pm at Brophy
Chapel at Central and Highland with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up for Ellianna's best friend, her big brother, Frankie, at Desert Schools Federal Credit Union under the name "FMS Best Brother Trust".

We heard about what happened with little sweet Ellie and haven't been able to get her angel face out of our minds. We can now only pray for your family to somehow find peace eventually knowing that the lord Jesus has your little angel in his loving care. You will always be on our minds. God Bless your family.

Although we never met Ellie, we feel like we knew her. She was a special little girl that her grandparents were proud of and loved very much. They had so many wonderful things to say about her. I wish we had had the chance to meet her and be showered by some of that sweet, vivacious life that we had heard about. We are so sad that you are going through this. We are thinking of you and sending all our love and support.

Taunya, Frank & Frankie,
I am so deeply saddened by your loss & my heart and prayers go out to you. Ellie was one of the most amazing little girls I have ever met & she just plain cracked me up. Every time I visited you I would rave to Julia about her fabulous, outgoing, loving personality. I hope you can find some kind of solace that she truly made a difference in the lives she touched and she will be greatly missed and always remembered. Taunya you know I love you as a sister and if there is anything I can do to help in any small way it will be my pleasure. I will keep you all in my prayers and heart. I know sweet Ellie is in God's arms until we meet her again.

Frank, Taunya and Frankie,
I pray that in time, you will find the peace and comfort that you deserve.
Remember how much God loves you. He knows your pain. He has received this precious child and is pleased with what you have done.
Romans 5:1-5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord, Jeus Christ through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
God Bless You!

A Child Loaned
I'll lend you for a little time
a child of mine," He said,
"for you to love the whole while he lives.
It may be six or seven years
or twenty-two or three,
but will you, till I call him back,
take care of him for me?"
"He'll bring his charm to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
you'll have his lovely memories
as solace for your grief."
"I cannot promise he will stay
since all from earth return,
but there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn."
"I've looked this wide world over
in my search for teachers true,
and from the things that crowd life's lane
I have selected you."
"Now will you give him all your love
nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call
and take him back again?"
"I fancied that I heard them say
'Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
for all the joy the child shall bring
the risk of grief we'll run.'
'We'll shelter him with tenderness;
We'll love him while we may,
and for the happiness we've known
forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.'"
We love you and you're in our thoughts and prayers
