Tragically for her loved ones, on the inside Ella was battling some real demons and after contending with them for a long time she finally ran out of forbearance and succumbed to their twisted wishes.
The Bailey family were hit with sad news after discovering Ella had taken her own life, her mother breaking down the heart-wrenching discovery in a viral Facebook post.
According to Sarah Bailey, Ella had been struggling with her mental health for a long time and eventually, she just could hold on no longer.
She described her daughter as a pure soul who “always wore her heart on her sleeve and was a beautiful person inside and out,”
“I can only pray that she is now out of pain and happy playing her guitar and singing nonstop up in the sky,” Sarah said.
She said in order to give her daughter the burial she deserved she had started a GoFundMe.

“Please hold those you love a little tighter, and if you or anyone you know is struggling be patient and kind with them,” Sarah added.
Aside from Sarah other friends of Ella took to social media to mourn her.
The picture that emerged was that of a beautiful lady who was sweet, fun, kind, and talented, both at singing, volleyball, and in other extracurricular activities.
“The world is definitely going to miss the light of sweet, talented and beautiful Ella Bailey… We were all lucky to bask in your glow & experience your pure soul!” Alyssa Marie said in her tribute.
Regis Raymond, a friend of Sarah’s, recounted how Ella had shown her singing talent during a Karaoke Competition in which she even won the first qualifying round.
“I Truly Hope she is showering heaven with her amazing Guitar Playing and her Beautiful Voice…. This is another example of how you truly don’t know what people are going through…BE KIND! Ask your family and friends if they are Ok…” Raymond said.
The GoFundMe to raise money for Ella’s funeral costs managed to exceed its $10,000 goal in a short while, overwhelming Sarah Bailey with gratitude but also serving as a testament to Ella’s incredible heart while alive.
It is a great tragedy whenever the world loses anyone to suicide as it leaves those behind wracked with guilt as they attempt to retrace their steps and see what they could have done better.
Nevertheless, mental illness is always difficult to handle and that’s why the true measure of a person lies in how they treat others because at the end of the day, that’s the only way we can help people overcome the most difficult of challenges, by being kind to one another.
