Though it has been a while since we have posted an update we continue to move forward after the loss of Erica.

 I had meant to post an update yesterday so everyone would know that her obituary was posted in the  Minneapolis Star Tribune on Sunday morning. It's just a simple notice So hopefully more friends and family can find out about our loss.  I will try to link to the website posting below. 

 Also I just wanted to remind people they're more than welcome to post any stories they may have about their newly adopted Ellies to share with everyone! They can help us all heal to hear anything uplifting.

 One of my nephews named his Ellie Erica because he didn't have one anymore because she died and he lost her.  Kids say the dardest things.

 Something else that we overlooked was even though with this website and Facebook we still missed telling a lot of people who were saddened to find out that she passed over a week ago.  So if you  can think of any friends that that might not know yet please help us spread the word and direct them to the website.  

 Thank you to everybody for everything you've done so far it is very much appreciated and  We would have been lost without your help. 

Love to all and especially the missing part of my heart. 

Thank you,  Sam
