Although I did not know Ellie or your family. I am a member of Dave's Church. I just want you to know that we have been praying for you and your family since we found out about Ellie's illness. When Dave told us of Ellie's passing last Sunday our entire congregation cried for you. As we had done many times as he shared your difficult journey. I hope you know that the people of Grace will continue to pray for you and having Dave for a brother I am sure is of great comfort. He is an amazing man of God. May God give you strength and comfort during this most difficult time.
