Today marks one month since the passing of Ellie, Lainey, Mark Anderson,and their dog Stella. We will never forget the time stopping moments and heartbreaking words that came on October 17th and the following days.Some people say you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. But not with Ellie, Lainey, and Mark. You knew exactly how lucky you were everytime you were around them. They resembled all the fruits of the spirit. My Ellie, There are so many things I could say about Ellie Anderson. But no words will ever be able to describe or do justice of how important you are to me and everyone you encountered. Not a single day goes by without me thinking of you and wishing we were still taking on life together. But the Lord’s timing will always prevail even if we never understand. I will always thank the Lord for the time I did share with you and how you changed my life. Our friendship was not only an answered prayer but a blessing to me and so many others that only the Lord could give. Your pure joy, goodness, faithfulness, and grace touched everyone around you. I will never forget how your smile would light up every room and your contagious laugh. I have learned so many things this month but one that I wanted to share was that “life is just a puff of smoke” and Ellie made sure to live every single day to the fullest. And Im so glad I got to witness it. Every moment I shared with you is my favorite. I will never be able to pick just one picture or memory that made me smile or laugh. Whenever we were together it was pure bliss. She was my other half and made life so special. We would call each other crying but would hang up laughing. I’m so thankful to say you were my best friend, my partner in crime, my adventure buddy, a constant shoulder to cry on, and someone who never failed to make me laugh. Thank you for making my life so amazing. We cling daily to the hope of heaven. We will never be the same. And we will always have a hole in our hearts. But we will live and love like each of y’all for the rest of our lives. I can’t wait to be with y’all again. I love y’all always and forever.💕💕💕
