Elsie Mahe, the 3-year-old daughter of BYU running backs coach Reno Mahe, passed away Tuesday evening, one week after becoming entangled in a mini-blind cord at the family home and suffering damage to her brain, according to a Facebook post from her mother, Sunny.
"We feel peace and we are again so grateful for the privilege of being Elsie's parents," Sunny Mahe wrote. "She continues to sprinkle love and hope across the world and I am in awe of the Lord and His marvelous plan for my sweet girl."
Earlier Tuesday, Sunny Mahe expressed thanks for the support the family has felt.
