On 16 March Ellie’s family posted to her Facebook page a sad goodbye to their baby girl.
“We want to thank you all for your love, support and prayers. Ellie fought so hard the past three weeks,” the post read.
“Early this morning, Ellie got her wings and is now free of this disease.”
Ellie Topliff captured everyone’s heart with her gorgeous smile and her courage as she fought her diagnosis of the extremely rare Tay-Sachs disease.
With no treatment and no cure, Ellie’s life expectancy was between two and five years.
The brave little girl, who found a place in anyone’s heart who was ever lucky enough to meet her, will remain forever in our thoughts.
Our thoughts are with Ellie’s family who have lost a beautiful young lady.
