Our sweet Ellie Rose left this earth last night at 9:15pm to go home to Jesus. She was surrounded by family and friends and so many who loved her. She raised her right hand to Heaven and I could feel God reach down and carry her safely to His kingdom, where I am confident that she was greeted by many fellow angels. She passed peacefully, while lying between her mama and dada. We love you, sweet little Ellena ~ you will be forever 5, forever whole and forever in our hearts until we meet again.

Today has been a long and difficult day as we struggle to transition into our new lives without Ellie beside us. There have been many tear filled moments and each has been followed by praise to our Father in Heaven who we cling to for comfort and love. Services for Ellie are below ~ we are blessed by the giving people at Hosanna! Lutheran Church for letting us use their building. All are welcome to attend any or all of these in honor of Ellie Rose.

Visitation: Sunday, February 22nd from 4 - 8pm at White Funeral Home ~ Burnsville Chapel, 12804 Nicollet Ave, Burnsville, MN

Celebration of Life Service: Monday, February 23rd beginning at 11am at Hosanna! Lutheran Church, Lakeville MN

Pastor Shari from New Day Church will be officiating as Pastor Doyal will be on a mission trip. Following Ellie’s celebration, please join us for lunch which will be Ellie’s favorite meal, fettucine alfredo and spaghetti with breadsticks and salad.

Ellie’s final resting place will be at the Calvary Cemetary in Saint Peter, MN next to her Aunt Peggy. We will have a short memorial service at the Catholic Church of Saint Peter with Father Phil around 3:30 or 4pm before making our way to the cemetery.

Thank you to all who have been with us through this most difficult journey.
Pat, Niki, Angel Ellie, Desi and Cole
