for the longest time it didn't make sense to me that Elliott was really gone. I just didn't understand it. I had just left him that morning, and talked to him ALL day long...He was definitely one of a kind. I want you to know, Ms. Townes, that he loved you more than life itself. I pray for you, that you will find comfort in your family and in God, though in times like this it can be the hardest thing to do. I still just don't understand...

My prayers and sympathy go out to the entire family. I never met Elloitt, but I'm a very good friend of his aunt Linda. Linda always talked about Elliott, and from what she had said over time, I thought I already knew him. Lois, I lost a child unexpectly, and feel your pain. What hepled me through my pain was God, call on Him, rely on Him, and thank Him for the time you shared with Elliott because our children are really not ours, they are on loan to us from our heavenly Father. Peace and blessings to the family and please stay grounded in the Lord.

Elliott, we’ve gone way back!! I miss you more and more as these days pass us. In life, we all have to know never to take anyone for granted because tomorrow is not promised. The preacher said it best: Each day we come a bit closer to death. I miss you and will cherish all memories forever. You made me smile! Your burst of energy was enough to keep me going. You will never be replaced. See you when I get there "Youngman". I love you

I didnt know Elliott for very long, but I know he was a good person! I was one of his co-workers ( school Bus driver ) & I can still see him smiling trying to keep up with my bus..You never know how much you miss a person until they are gone. God bless his family, help them to be strong. He will forever be in my heart.

Elliott, Sweetie I know that you are gone to a better place while we are sitting here grieving. All of the laughter and joy that you have brought into this world. I will see you up there one day, and we will all be living happily ever after...The good die young, and the young die restless. Why are we struggling to live?, when we are living to die? God has just added another beautiful angel to be with him. I LOVE YOU, BABY!

To Elliott's Family: You don't know me, but I knew Elliott. He was a good friend of my daughter, Niki. I just want you to know that he was the sweetest, finest, kindest young man that I know and you should be proud of him. I will truly miss him. May God continue to bless you and my prayers are with you.

Even though Elliott is no longer here physically, he will always live on in our hearts. It may seem hard at times to go on without Elliott but he and his legacy lives on through the family. May God offer peace and comfort to you Lois and Putt. Know that God is your comforter and your source. I pray that God gives you and the entire family understanding. Jeremiah 31:13 "...For I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow." Love you all...... Nichelle
