I have known Eli only for a short time but in that time, I learned that Eli was a great person and that she really knew how to have fun! Eli lit up every room she walked into and put a smile on every face! Eli left footprints on many hearts, and to live it the hearts of others is to never die. This may be the final chapter for Eli in her time here on earth, but it's her first chapter in eternity and we all know that she'll be in good company with the rest of

I was devastated to hear the news of Eli's passing! We met at Shepherd's Path where our daughters were in pre-school together. My daughter had difficulty transitioning to the classroom at drop off and gentle, sweet Katie took my daughter under her caring wing to help her acclimate. Eli and I spent many years chatting as our paths crossed during drop off and pick up. Eli always cheerful...always with a smile...always up for a new adventure! I have fond memories of birthday and Christmas parties at the house with crowds of Eli's family and friends! Although our paths didnt cross as often once the girls went to kindergarten...but when they did I was always greeted with a big smile and warm embrace! Eli was an amazing woman and her spirit lives on in all of us! My thoughts and prayers go out to the family!
