Elliana Jo Johnson, 9 months, daughter of Nate and Jess Johnson of Eau Claire, passed away in the loving arms of her mother with her father laying his protective hands over her tiny body at Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota on Sunday, June 26, 2011.
Elli was born on September 13, 2010 at Sacred Heart Hospital in
Eau Claire. She was welcomed home with love by her two year old
twin sisters, Adalyn and Alivia. Elli was a beautiful baby who
brought so much joy to everyone who met her. She was such an easy
baby with the best temperament. Her smile was spectacular, her big
blue eyes were captivating, and her laugh was contagious. She
recently learned how to crawl and loved chasing the cat around the
house saying “kitty.” She also enjoyed watching her twin
sisters play, being tickled by her daddy and being cuddled by her
mommy. |

Daddy please don’t look so sad
Mommy please don’t cry
I’m in the arms of Jesus
And He sings me lullabies
Please don’t try to question God
Don’t think He is unkind
Don’t think He sent me to you
And that He changed His mind
You see, I am special
And I’m needed up above
I’m the special child you gave Him
The product of your love
I’ll always be there with you
So watch the sky at night
Find the brightest star that’s gleaming
That’s my halo’s brilliant light
So daddy please don’t look so sad
Mommy please don’t cry
I’m in the arms of Jesus
And He sings me lullabies
