After a long 16 year battle with cancer, Chris Ellis is finally resting peacefully and is in a much better place.
Today at 2:15 she took her last breath surrounded by her family. She went quickly and peacefully and in true Chris style everything was perfect and everyone was taken care of in a way that was perfect for them. She had an obvious plan.
As crazy as it sounds, just a few minutes after she passed she got a smile on her face. Her energy was everywhere, and it was an extremely healing experience for the family.
We will post once funeral arrangements have been made, but we are so grateful for your prayers and kind words over the last while and want you to know that it has been very comforting.

I am so so sorry to hear that, Brandi. I'm glad she was able to go in such a peaceful way. She sounds like such a strong, amazing woman. My thoughts, prayers, and heart go out to you and your whole family!
ReplyDeleteBrandi...Take a deep breath you still have some rough days ahead! It gives me comfort knowing she wasn't in pain and everything was peaceful.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love,
Terri and Tom
