Our sweet, fearless, free spirit Ella - it was easy to get lost in her piercing blue eyes and wonder, what exactly is going on in that tiny, sweet head of hers? Well, the answer is likely pickles, dreams of dancing with Jesus, wondering where her little pillow was, what her brother or sister are doing, and what amazing 5th outfit she would put on for the next outfit change of the day. One thing Ella was not a fan of, was brushing her wild, beautiful curly hair unless it was her special brush. No matter how much her mama tried to keep her hair up, she loved to let her crazy hair fly just as her crazy personality shined through her goofy, loving and beautiful soul. When her daddy would ask her, "How much do you love me?", her answer remained steadfast... "It never stops." Ella loved her mama with every ounce of her being, and anytime she needed comfort, she found it in her arms. While Aunt Chelly and her were best friends, the truth is Jesus was her best friend. Never has there been a child to talk so deeply about her love for the Lord. Ella was protective over her brother and sister and loved any and every baby she ever met; she would have been the most perfect mommy. Ella loved special nights with Meme, Poppy and Aunt Chelly putting on makeup-up and no matter the day, time or season, you could find her in the hot tub or pool. Her most recent favorite adventure was spider hunting with her Mama, or of course taking pictures with her tongue out and making a "Peace Sign". She loved her daddy something fierce, their bond was one that surpasses words or explanation. Although tiny, her love came in the biggest package and you could always spot her at church swaying to the music with her eyes closed, hands in the air, and heart full of life, love and faith. We miss you so much my sweet, silly, barefoot baby girl! Daddy and I love you always and forever!
