Ellie Shoal Potvin, 2001-2010

DateTuesday, June 29, 2010 at 10:24PM

Our hearts are grieving.  Ellie Shoal Potvin gained her angel wings on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 following a two-year battle with Rhabdomysarcoma, a rare pediatric cancer. 

This weekend we celebrated Ellie's short, beautiful life with her twin sister Grace, her incredible parents Amy and Tim, and hundreds of others touched by her light.

Ellie's creative spirit lives on in her artwork.  Limited Edition prints from four of her oil paintings are available here, including Ellie's final painting, a cheery sunflower titled "All Things Bright and Beautiful".  100% of proceeds benefit "Lift Up Ellie", a supplemental needs trust that assists the family with medical expenses.

You can find the story of Ellie's journey on her CaringBridge website.
