I think of Elton often, he and his family were some of the first kids we met as my family moved to gloucester as kids. We had a lot of good times, playing and laughing together. Elton was a great friend and person to be around and his friendship is missed! Rest Up my friend and Heaven.

On this anniversary date of Elton's death, I will remember Elton for as long as I shall live. For one,we were childhood friends and had many laughs and great times together, went to the same schools, and played together often. He preached and spoke over Both of my parents when they transitioned, and I will always be grateful for his words and beautiful voice as he sang as well. I think about Elton often. He definitely left us way too soon as he was always so full of life and had so much to give. Rest in Peace Elton ...you were loved.

May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side.

the happy hours that belonged to you. "Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. With our deepest sympathy, The St. Luke Baptist church Family.
