To the Thomas and McErlane families, Ellen was a beautiful star who left this world too soon. I will always remember her irrepressible energy, her picking up lyrics to songs in a heartbeat, hotly debating the merits of different ice cream flavours, and letting me introduce her to Star Wars. Carla, darling heart, the bond and love you shared with Ellie will always remain. May that bring you strength whenever you need it. Love you baby worms x
