So very sorry to hear about Ely! I remember your cute little family when you lived in Pleasanton. Just the cutest and nicest little boys! And then blessed with your daughter! You were a joy to know! I wish I had the words that would take away your pain. Praying you find strength in the days ahead and find comfort as you remember that beautiful young man God gave you. My deepest sympathy!

I love all of you. Can't believe this happened so fast. I consider each and every one of you as family. When I heard i was in shock. I was just down there not too long ago and seen y'all a week and something ago. I wish I could be there for y'all. Ely was an amazing boy. Had a big heart made me laugh a lot. He was truly a great person.
