We received word today from @YoungAtHeart that our dear Ellen - @elvan passed away this morning. I realize that many people were blessed to know Ellen as an incredible force here - helping all of those who read her blogs and comments. She hasn’t been here very much during the past few years due to her health. She had been quit for over 9 years - and for most of those years she shared thousands of wise and encouraging words.
However, some of us also had the amazing experience of meeting Ellen in person at some of the EX reunions we have held through the years. She was so very special! Sweet yet fierce - and so kind. Always smiling - despite the pain she was in. I want to share some pictures I have from those gatherings….you will notice her beautiful smile in each and every picture!
Ellen was an incredible woman and she will be greatly missed! Love you dear friend!
