Not sure what to say?

Dr. Elkas was a treasure and light from the moment my sons Brent (95)and Dillon (98)were born. His love and care for the well being of all children are among the many qualities he possessed. We talk about him from time to time even after all these years.

We recently had a new baby in our family, and each time a child is born, I think of Dr. Elkas. I left a note when I first learned of his passing, but with each new baby, I feel sadness that they cannot know the love and care we felt from this special doctor and man. I know they will find wonderful pediatricians, but there was no one like Dr. Elkas. He was my doctor when I was born and throughout my childhood, and I couldn't think of bringing my child to anyone but him. My "child" is now...
