This is a short writing that I just wrote for my Aunt who has just passed away. As family members morn, there is the opportunity to celebrate in the love and caring one teaches us through their life, and Ellen did this so many times. I hope you feel the love that she has shown so many in the words written.
Our Precious Ellen, a rose lying with all of her beauty surrounding all of her loved ones. This is a time to celebrate the love, kindness, and caring that Ellen so lovingly shared throughout her life, as a Mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a grandmother.
As our moments of silence give way to a tear of sadness, let us not forget those loving hands holding us near, and her loving eyes telling us that everything shall be ok. Today we celebrate the going home to our father for our loved Ellen, and in this time of our sadness, let us remember that there is no more pain, no more sadness, and no more hurt as our precious Ellen reaches the door to her new home.
Ellen, an angel sent to us from heaven was a teacher, a confidant, a disciplinarian, and a protector. Our love for her is only dwarfed by the love that our father in heaven has for her, and in his graces, shall that same love given to all her loved ones, once again be felt, and given, to Ellen, as she spends her journey in God’s gardens.
In our moment of sadness, let us not forget the love shared by Ellen throughout the years, and the strength through struggles that gave her perseverance. With every battle won, came such a trophy of love to those most dear to Ellen, and in this moment of our grief, let us never forget her smiling, glowing face looking with love upon each of us.
Today, let us celebrate the angel we have known, Ellen in her journey to the gates of heaven, and let us pray for the open arms of god’s love to take her in, and shower her with the love and kindness she has shown us for all these years.
