That surely was not my intention. <br /><br />I wanted to communicate my outrage and grief at her death, that it was a not matter of simply getting clipped by another car, but that this drunk driver <i>forced</i> her off the road. <br /><br />I'm still outraged. My heart goes out to you and your family as I know you all continue to be stunned by this. <br /><br />Ferocious hugs to you all.Debra Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413323223312789631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015339038632484131.post-88785917965272517462011-04-09T12:37:56.804-07:002011-04-09T12:37:56.804-07:00I am her sister and am still reeling from the phot...I am her sister and am still reeling from the photo- literally sick to my stomach.

Every time I met her, I felt it. Ellen would enter a room - and the room would light up. It always felt good to be in her presence. <br />It is incredibly hard to believe that she is no longer walking around on this planet. What a loss for us!<br /><br />The circumstances of her exiting this life, make it so much harder for her family and her "found"family to cope with it and accept it. <br /><br />I wish you all a lot of strength and may you be able to find peace with this in the end. <br /><br />fly free Ellen!Pianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015339038632484131.post-28280295304977244582011-03-09T12:17:39.576-08:002011-03-09T12:17:39.576-08:00I only just met Ellen at the La Push Pummel, but I...I only just met Ellen at the La Push Pummel, but I am devastated by this tragic event. You said it brilliantly, "It seemed that in reaching to out to others in pain, my own disappeared." It is a spiritual law - when we are in pain, our first line of defense is to help others. Yes, her spirit must of fled instantly, in joy!<br /><br />KP BrackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015339038632484131.post-81466973053691212282011-03-08T19:33:27.833-08:002011-03-08T19:33:27.833-08:00My heart bleeds for all the suffereing cancer pati...My heart bleeds for all the suffereing cancer patients who will no longer have Ellen's understanding and tender ministrations. <br />God must not have been watching at that moment...Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015339038632484131.post-21078261759337875232011-03-08T16:03:01.002-08:002011-03-08T16:03:01.002-08:00Hi Debra,
