Elleanor "Ella" Claire Bergeron was born on December 27th, 2022. From the moment she entered this world, Ella's radiant spirit brought boundless joy and warmth to everyone fortunate enough to know her. Her infectious laughter and gentle soul had a remarkable way of brightening even the darkest of days.

Tragically, on April 1st, 2023, Ella was called away from us far too soon. Yet, amidst our grief, her legacy of love and kindness endures. Through the selfless act of organ donation, Ella continues to shine brightly, offering hope and healing to others in need.

The process of donation, guided by the compassionate care of the Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency (LOPA), transformed our sorrow into a beacon of light. Each step, though bittersweet, was marked by a profound sense of purpose and gratitude.

Ella's gift of life has not only honored her memory but has also brought solace and renewal to those who have received her precious gift. For us, organ donation has been a testament to the enduring power of love and the remarkable capacity for healing that resides within us all.

Though Ella may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on, embodied in the lives she has touched and the hope she has bestowed upon others. In sharing her story, we hope to inspire others to consider the profound impact of organ donation and the enduring legacy of love it leaves behind.
