May Ellie+ rest in peace and rise in glory eternal, and she will! Her faith, love for others, heart and soul were worn on her sleeve. She was pure love and spirit to so many, myself included. I remember the very first time Ellie gave me Communion at St. Peter's in Cambridge, we both cried. I have a beautiful gift of art, The Holy Family, which she gave me and reminds me of her blessings.
What a beautiful woman and person Ellie was! And a spiritual touchstone for us. Ellie was instrumental when our baby daughter Cameron was diagnosed with a fatal disease. She guided us thru the baptism two days later and the memorial service 2 years later. She helped us find and make meaning in those painful hours and days. She shared her grace and strength and faith with us. A blessing.
