Thank you for your friendship and support...

Dear friends and family,

Thank you all so much for your remarkable generosity at the recent celebration for Ellie's Fund. We simply never expected such an outpouring of friendship and support.

Numerous companies donated items for the auctions and helped publicize the event. Countless volunteers stepped forward to give of their labor and love to help pull everything together. And of course, donations of all sizes helped make this day an overwhelming success.

Your contributions at the event generated over $20 thousand for charity in our community.

No amount of money can ever fill the void left by our beloved Ellie. But we know that she is looking down upon us and is proud of our community for using this tragedy as an inspiration to do wonderful things for our less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Ellie by supporting Ellie's Fund.

Paul & Kathy Zaidel (Mom and Dad)
Dave & Jane Hansen (grandparents)
Bob & Linda Zaidel (grandparents)
and many aunts, uncles, and cousins

A Few of Daddy's Favorite Pictures...

A green thumb, just like her daddy


Guess who found her way into the snack closet?


Not even two yet, and already way too cool


Always ready to plant something with daddy


Peaking under the table at Daddy mowing the lawn


Just like her Daddy, always fiddling in the garden


Playing on Daddy's freshly cut lawn
