I am sending my sincere condolences to your family. May you find comfort in this thought found at Isaiah 61:1,2 which reads in part" God sent his son to bind up the brokenhearted and to comfort those who mourn."

Ms. Elliot was an extraordinary mother, her son and our son Gino are very good friends and Sean always shared with Gino the love and respect he had for his mother. Sean is a wonderful man the guidance he received from his mother is reflected in the person Sean is today. Ms. Elliot was a wonderful woman and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. God Bless the family.

Laura, Tanya and Sean, We were so sad to hear the news of Aunt Joyce's passing. I have such wonderful childhood memories of all the fun things we would do together. I'm glad that her and Uncle Paul can be together again.
