As many of my family and friends know, Ellie sadly passed away last week. My sister / Ellie's mum has asked me to open a just giving page as she has received many very kind offers from people wanting to donate towards the cost of the funeral, flowers and head stone. As I'm sure you understand we are unsure of the arrangements or the cost as yet but I have set a target of £800.00. Any money we receive that exceeds the cost of the funeral will be donated to one of Ellie's favourite places to visit for many of her very short 17 years - The Space Centre in Preston.

Ellie was one of the most kind hearted, genuine, funny and loving people you could ever meet. She will be sadly missed by us all.

Thank you in advance and on behalf of Samantha.
