Very saddening hearing she had passed away. She made friends everywhere she went. She made sure her children knew they were loved as well as raised them to know right from wrong. She had a passion for life and tackled any task with all she had. Even when death was coming she faught hard against it. In the end God gained an angel unlike any other which He took and held lovingly in His arms. Allow yourselves to grieve and let the tears flow but remember she don't want you to be sad very long. Treasure your memories of good times spent together may those memories help get you through the tough times ahead. She was an inspiration. She won't be forgotten. Rest in peace Ellabelle, thank you for being you. Prayers, love and healing hugs.....
