Mom, I am deeply sadden with just the actuality of never speaking to you again, but it brings a smile to my face that you are already surely touching the afterlife, I'm sure their are words of encouragement, wisdom, praise. Please give "my Dad" Big Mama, and Uncle Junior a big hug. Mom you will always be with me wherever I go, your spirit will truly move on. Love You always, Mary, Phoenix Az

I will never forget Ms. Elliott's kind, loving words of wisdom and hilarious one-liner quotes. I feel blessed for having met her and only wish I could've spent more time with her...even if it was at the casino as her good luck charm or sitting in her living room just shooting the breeze. I love her very much and based on the funeral, I can tell that her family and friends love her very much as well. She was a very strong willed, ambitious woman with endless business ideas and I admired that a lot about her. She will be missed but I know she'll be peaking in on all of us probably in between running the business/tourism side of heaven lol. If it hasn't been done already, I'll be happy to get the permanent sponsorship of this Guest Book so I'll bookmark this page and keep an eye on it.
