In memory of

Ellie Marie Maggie Iris Laurel Gill

November 25, 2019 -  July 31, 2021

God called Ellie home on July 31, 2021. Ellie went to be with Angels, to watch over us from above.

Beloved daughter of Tom and Stacey Gill. Cherished sister of John (Gill), Ashton (Pali) and Jena (Reaman). Treasured granddaughter of paternal grandparents John and Laural Gill. Darling granddaughter of maternal grandmother Judy Pali. Preceded in death by her sorrowfully missed grandfather Laszlo Pali. Ellie's extended family and friends were an active part in Ellies life whom showered her with love and care.

Ellie brightened the moments of every single person who was lucky enough to cross her path. Whether it was on her neighbourhood walks, shopping trips or park adventures. With her big brown eyes and curly brown hair, she would, with her bright smile, proudly shout "HI!" and "Bye" with her careful wave.

Ellie loved more than anything else to play with her brothers. Taking toys only to run and laugh and thoughtfully give them back. She loved going for rides with her brothers in their electric car, happy to ride passenger while being held protectively by one of them while taking in the scenery around her. Ellie loved dancing in the living room to her favourite silly songs which turned into a little dance anywhere she heard music. Ellie loved to play outside and go on walks. She was so proud that she could get her shoes or little rubber boots and bring them to you with an excited and urgent sound unique to her to say let's go! Ellie loved to snuggle up in bed pulling the blankets up and down over her beautiful little face. She loved hugs and gave the biggest ones with her little arms wrapped around your neck. She loved kisses; both giving and receiving. She had a favourite game in which she would say her name "Ellllllllie" and get tickled all over that resulted in the best sound this world has ever heard; her laugh. Ellie loved to swim, play in puddles big or small and loved her baths splashing about while filling up her water jugs. Ellie was as independent as she was affectionate. She was fearless, hungry for adventure from her curiosity of all things and incredibly bright.

Ellie was an angel on earth who brought us joy that is carved deep inside us all. We will, until we reunite in heaven, hear her laugh, see her smile, smell her sweet smell, feel her touch and hold her hand. Our dearest and unbearably missed Ellie, we all love you so incredibly much.

Too Pure To Stay

At a loss of a dear sweet child
words cannot explain,
how much the heart is broken,
or how awful is the pain.

"Why doesn't Thou take little ones?"
I asked as I knelt to pray.
I felt His spirit telling me;
"They are too pure to stay."

I had the warmest feeling
That my child is happy and waits,
until we are together again
past Heaven's golden gates.

Time will reunite us.
In not too many years.
In Heavens place, we'll embrace
and joy will replace tears.

Stacey and John, I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Ellie was such a beautiful little girl. I loved seeing her everyday at the bus stop with the boys. I know Henry and Charlotte loved seeing her also. She was so happy and energetic. I remember how excited she would get when she would see Ashtons school bus coming. She was such a pleasure to be around and I am praying for your family that god will give you some peace at this time of sorrow. Now having my Ellie, I will never ever forgot your beautiful daughter. She has been on my mind and in my prayers every single day.
