Remembering a very special son Brian Christian Ellis

It has been 2-years since you left us here on earth. Your smile, the joy you gave us, your generous gentle spirit will be forever missed. But we remain grateful and humbled that we were chosen as your family and your friends. As an organ donor, you gave the gift of life to 6 strangers, and because of that gift, 6 other families will be celebrating the holidays together with joy in their hearts. This year you will be honored with a floralgraph portrait on the 2012 Donate Life Rose Parade float. What a gift to have received. You are most deserving of this honor. As we did last year, we will launch 31 white balloons (for your years on earth) and 2 pink balloons (for your years in heaven) on the anniversary of your death Sunday, November 20. Make sure to look for them, as we send to you with all our love.
“I listen for your spirit in the air that sustains all life; I bask in your warmth from the sun above and I absorb your beauty upon the earth that I walk”…Until we meet again, Mother.
