[/caption]Ellie's wonderful schoolmate, Izzy, wrote the following memories about Ellie. Thought you would all enjoy reading what she had to say.
The first time I saw Ellie I knew she was going to be a good friend of mine. I loved her great personality, her outgoing clothes and the great words she made up.
We met the second day of 3rd grade in Ms. Mack's class. Everyone always wanted to be with her. What I learned about Ellie was that she liked being able to finish a book, interacting with people, giving hugs and spending time with her friends.
In 4th grade she would always ask if anyone could read with her but we would all be either reading or finishing up work. So she got upset if no one could read with her. Then Ms. Pettit would go to Ms. HW's class to see if anyone there could read with her and usually they could. When I got to read with Ellie she would always say, "keep reading, even if I fall asleep." And when we couldn't finish a book she would say, "I'm sad".
Ellie had things called moises, "mouth noises", but she didn't like when we had to tell her that she had to be quiet in the hall and that she couldn't make any more moises right now. But that just led to crying I guess.
She fell asleep in music class. I can't blame her, it is boring. She loved to make up songs. She hated loud noises and most of all she hated FIRE DRILLS! She would cover her ears and say, "it's too loud."
Ellie was a really good friend and she is still with me wherever I go.
