Hey Eli,
It’s your youngest sister, Kayleigh, officially adult. I’ll be honest I’ve heard ya from many stories for our mom, aunts, and other family members. They have said great and funny things about you! And it’s crazy because I always wanted to know who you were as a person since I was a kid. I’m sad that I’ll never get the chance to talk to you, go on cool adventures with, or have you in my life right now. Truth be told I miss you a lot and it sucks sometimes to have that empty feeling of loss. While I haven’t gotten the chance to talk to ya, I know a lot of people that have been impacted by your prescience. In turn they have shared who you are and know that you are still here. In other words: I feel a little closer getting to know who you are with the people carrying on your legacy!

We miss you to the moon and stars from our temporary home but we're sure, every time we look upon the moon & stars, it is you who is now helping them to shine so brightly. We are dealing with our grief and I'm sure you're where you are finally comforted now & at peace. I'm sorry this ol world couldn't bring you the peace you needed. You touched so many lives in your brief stay. What a huge soul you were & you will always be missed, BUT WE WILL MEET AGAIN !! Until then watch over us as a guardian angel. (Oh, and tell Aaron hi & I love you both, MTATS... :-)

Hello,
I don't know your family and i didn't know Elijah but I had a brother named Elijah that passed away in 2004. I was missing him so much the other night and I did a search on the name Elijah and this site popped up. As I read the beautiful entries here there are tears streaming down my face. It seems there are so many similiarities between your elijah and mine. My brother was a beautiful soul that deeply moved those that met him, but like your Elijah, he could not find peace in this life. My heart goes out to you and your family. As the years go by it does get easier but I still have moments where my heart breaks (esp. on my brothers b-day or during the holidays) and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. I wish you all the best. I know that your Elijah is now with my Elijah and they are both watching over us from above. :)

Wow...amazing what a night of surfing the web brings up! I was just looking for information about Texas Pine and managed to come across this! Marla, I never knew about this site! I sit here and cry as I read what everyone has said. I cry because I miss Eli something fierce. I know we don't talk about him much these days but I swear there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I always say to myself in my head..."run eli run" and then finish the thought.."run to those who love you"...and think about all the people who love him and that preceded him out of this world. I gain comfort in thinking he and mom are hanging out together talking, loving, laughing, and waiting (hopefully for a long time yet) for the rest of us.
Eli was an awesome soul. I am fortunate that I was able to be his aunt but most importantly...his friend.

Septembers are hard. I have been thinking about you a lot this month. It's funny how I am still learning things from you. I am definitely the person I am today because of you. Thank you for teaching me so many things about life, about other people, and about death. My Grandmother is with you now. I hope the two of you get a chance to sit and talk. :-)

It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since you made your grand entrance into this world. I miss you and wish I could take you to Saltgrass Steak House tonight. Happpy Birthday!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Eli, as we get closer to September 26, my heart still hurts. A wonderful man like you with so much to live for is gone. You were there for me when I needed some one to speak to and now you are gone. It still makes me cry, wondering, why did I have to find you? I guess this was just a chapter in my life, I am just sorry it ended this way. Hope that you receive the balloons I will release for you as we approach your 2nd anniversary. You are allways in my thoughts and prayers, and you will always be loved.

I was thinking of the past as i head to my future of grad school and thought of you and how much you were a first for me by chance i looked you up to....i do not know but was shocked and really hurt to see this. I would love to talk to Mrs. Weldon i do not know if you remember me i went on a family trip with you and eli and am confused and curious about how it got here. He ment alot to me even though we never stayed in touch it was a bad seperation of ways largely do to my parents but understandable and it would mean alot to me to know if he ever thought of me.

Eli,
I had a dream about you last night, so I felt like writing to you. I saw your mom and sisters the other day. Everyone looks so good and the girls sure are getting big. After all this time, its still hard to believe that you are gone, even though I know you are in a better place. Just know that there are still people who think about you and who miss you. You will forever be in our hearts.
I love you!

Tears of joy and tears of grief
Tears of sadness and relief
Tears for every high and low
Tears that let our feelings show
Private tears and tears we share
Tears that let us know we care
Tears shed with friends in sympathy
The tears we shed in symphony
Tears at weddings births and wakes
Whatever kind of tears it takes
Happy tears and tears of pain
And sometimes tears we can't explain
To ease our hearts God gave us tears
To ease our minds to ease our fears
Tears of loss and tears of hope
God gave us tears to help us cope
Beware the man who will not cry
For he his feelings would deny
The tears we cry show our devotion
So cry your tears to fill an ocean.
November 21, 2005
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
whatever we were to each other
that we still are
call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used
put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together
pray smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as it ever was
there is unbroken continuity
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner
All is well

Eli,
All this time I thought I had signed the guestbook, apparently it didn't save. I miss you. So many things remind me of you, so I think of you often. I still pray for you and I always will. You were a good friend, I wouldn't trade the memories I have with you for the world.

I have written so much that never seems to make it to this site. Eli September was a hard month. Thank God I made it through. Katrina and Rita were good distractions. We all miss you so much. I would use the F word then for sure they would not put what I wrote on here.
I love you, so very much. Glad I got to have you for 22 years. Your yellow belly snakes are doing good and I am taking good care of your car. I guess you know that though.
Forever your mom

Well it is 1 year now that you have been gone, and we all miss your goofy grin. This has all been a very big experience for me and you and every one close to you. Well Jesus brought me close to Houston for you. A group of us wanted to lighted some candels or let some balloons go since I can't come see you, somethimg to honor you.
Just know I think of you all of the time, you will always be in my heart and prayrs.

Its been a year now... and we all miss you so much still. Your sisters are getting so big and so cute, I'm sure you are watching over them. Your mom misses you. We all do. I thought that with time the pain wouldnt be so tough. I was wrong. We love you Eli!

I love you to the stars and moon. I miss you so much. You are the first thing I think of when I open my eyes in the morning and the last thing I think of before I fall asleep. I never knew anything could ever hurt this bad. I hope wherever you are that you have the peace you could not find on this earth. You are loved and missed.

Eli,
It has been almost 5 months since you have been gone and I still think about you every minute of every day. You are in my prayers and in my dreams. I miss you more than you will ever know. I wish I could have given you the help you wanted. I wish I could have been there for you when you were feeling low. There are so many things that I regret, but I cannot change. I will never forget you. You have changed my life forever. I love you Eli, I just wish you knew that when you were here.
Marla,
Thank you for having such a wonderful son. He must have been sent from God to change all of us and make us better people. You, Amy and Kayleigh are always in my thoughts. I'm only a phone call away if you ever need me.

Eli,
I know you're gone and you will never get this letter but I can't stop thinking about you at the moment and this was the only thing i could think of that might help. We all made it into the new year without you. The road was narrow and bumpy but we made it. Most of us would have given up the new year just to have you back... Your mom seems to be doing better although she, as well as me, will never be the same. Sometimes I think I'm back to my old self... back to Alicia... but the truth is... I'm a different person now. I'm not sure if it's all a good thing... I just know I'm different. I've tried dating lately but then I have these nights when I feel so awful. I love you so much and when you said I took you for granted I didn't see it then but now that you're gone I look back at the last times i saw and spoke to you and I finally see it. I never was honest with you about I felt and thats the biggest regret of my 22 years. Wow... I never thought I'd turn 22 and now have you here. My heart hurts since you left. You took a piece of it with you. It will never be whole again. You never know how much one person brings into your life until that person is gone... forever. I still have drams about you. I still find myself going back to a time that was happier... a time when you and i were together. You made me happy Eli and now I can't seem to find that feeling again. Suire I have good days, but there was a feeling inside me when you were around... when I was in your arms or woke up next to you. I can't even describe that feeling. I know you still look down on us from wherever you are. I love everything and everyone you brought into my life, especially your mother. I really don't know if I would have made it through this standing if I hadn't become so close with her. She's been there for me to lean on at a time when she hurt more than anyone. I have all of the images in my head of things we did and time we spent together. I am so very luck y to have those memories... I just wish I still had you. I miss you and love you so much Eli...

Eli,
Christmas was hard without you. I went to see your mom and the girls, to make sure they were ok. Amy talks so much now and I know Kayleigh would've cracked you up--she's so full of life. Things were really hard. Your mom hurts so badly. But I know you would've just loved to have seen your mom, me, mam-maw, and amy squealing trying to make sure your snakes were eating their mice. we just miss you so much. i'll keep doing my best to be there for your mom and the girls...i know that's what you would want. i love you.

As I lie awake in bed,
My thoughts turn to you.
It's times like these,
I can't seem to get you off my mind.
I wonder why you had to go so soon?
Was it something I said?
Was there something I could have done?
I toss and turn trying to sleep,
But still I hear your voice.
Why must I continue to carry this burden?
I have so many questions,
All of them with no answers.
Though I speak to you everyday,
I know it will never be the same.
As I drift back to sleep,
I have comfort i knowing,
That one day I will see you again.
Until then all I am left with,
Are memories and these unanswered questions.

Eli,
When I first heard of this news I was shocked and devestated.We all miss you so much,I have never seen Eric cry so many tears for a dear friend.I miss our online chats and calling you up on the phone and talking about all the animals you had,it was great.To Eli's mother..You had a great son.You and Eli will be in my thoughts and prayers always with Christmas coming up I am sure it will be a hard time for you and everyone else that loved Eli so much. Just know that he is in a better place now and that he will always be with you.

I just felt I needed to come and put something on here. Today is one of those days that I can't seem to get Eli out of my head. I'm sitting here at work thinking of all the things I wish I had said to him. I miss you SO much Eli. Well, here is the song...
Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
Now it's too late to hold you. '
Cause you've flown away, so far away.
Never, Had I imagined, yeah, living without your smile.
Feelin' and knowing you hear me.
It keeps me alive. Alive!
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
Picture a little scene from Heaven.
Darling, I never showed you.
Assumed you'd always be there.
I took your presence for granted.
But I always cared
And I miss the love we shared.
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven.
Like so many friends we've lost along the way.
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
Picture a little scene from Heaven.
Although, the sun will never shine the same, I'll
always look to a brighter day.
Yeah, Lord, I know, when I lay me down to sleep,
You'll always listen, as I pray!
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together.
One sweet day.
Sorry, I Never told you, all I wanted to say
I love you Eli... and we all miss seeing your bright smiling face every day.

Eli,
Alicia and I went to dinner with your mom the other night. I just don't know how to explain to you how much we all miss you. Marla told me about a dream she had about you and a room full of babies, and how you were telling them all how great life was on earth. Ever sence that I have had this feeling that someone is with Hannah, and I thank God for that and for you. I miss you Eli.
Love, Rachel

ELi,
We all just survived our first Holiday without you. You are so missed. I hope you can now see how many people loved you. I have cried a river of tears for you and I know others have too. I dread Christmas this year. I do not want to open our boxes of decorations and find all the things that we have collected over the years. I do not know what to do with your stocking. Do I continue to hang it? I just do not know what to do or how to survive this pain of losing you.

We will always cherish the time we had with you though it was too short. We will always remember how excited you were about breeding snakes and the new snake that was on its way, how you bumped your head on the couch bed that morning because you were so tall and your little brother laughing and telling you to wake up and see how high you could lift him (to the ceiling usually), you and your sister trying to find a mcdonald's that was open after 10pm cause you only ate mickey d's. Your father just can not accept the fact that that big strong man his oldest son is gone.
We loved you and always will. We only wish we could have done more for you. We will never forget the last time we saw you leaving our house with your clothes in hand and the Biggest smile on your face. If only we had known that the next day you'd be gone - we would have done anything to help you.
We only wish we had more time, more pictures, more memories, but mostly more time with you. We will never forget that time you first called when you were 17, we had been waiting for the call for a long time, we knew it would come. We knew the moment we answered the phone it was you - it was Eli - you didn't even have to tell us it was you - we just knew and we were very thankful that you found us, we only wish it had happened sooner. For the time with you was simply too short.
To Marla please accept our sincerest sympathies. We know your heart is broken. So is ours. Please know that we loved Elijah with all of hearts. We hope Eli's littlest sisters are doing well and that they give you the strength to carry on - it is what Eli would have wanted.

Eli, thank you for being the great neighbor and friend that you were. It makes me sad that I never told you that I loved you like a brother. I guess I thought you would always be there. I still look out the window every day thinking that you and Mack will walk out. Our back porch conversations will be missed deeply. You have left me with memories that I will never forget and new friends for life. I will always remember 9-26-04. We love you always and forever.

Eli,
You were a gift from God and I am so glad I got to be your mother. You were so loved and I wish you would of reached out to me. I would have talked you through this. My heart is breaking. I am only going on because of your little sisters. Thanks Baby for teaching me how to be a mother. Rest assured that your little sisters will not get away with half of the stuff you did.
To Eli's friends. I love you guys too and I wish he could of known how many people cared about him. He could be hard to love at times but people always came back to him because they could see the good in
his soul.
To my friends, all I can say is wow. I did not know so many people cared either.
Please keep in touch.

Eli, How can anyone forget you? From everything ive read and heard youve touched so many hearts. I just hope and pray you will not forget us either, We will always love you.
One thing i'll never forget is that smile ! :-)
It always brightened any day.

After much thought I have come to the conclusion that Eli was about MEMORIES. I don't know if anyone else noticed tonight at his funeral, but we all have our special memories with Eli. I've heard that we all know our own destiny. Even if we agree with it, disagree with it, fight it, or even ignore it, we all know it. Well, after tonight I'm even more sure this must be true. I believe Eli knew he was making memories every time he did anything! YUP I must say...Eli knew exactly what he was doing in life, I didn't know him like so many others did. I do know that Eli was FUN. YUP, ELI = FUN! Marla, I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I want you to know, you raised a wonderful individual, thank you for Eli. May God bless whatever the outcome of Amy (I believe her name is) is for future generations. Eli = MEMORIES. I'm so thankful that I have mine.

Eli, I just dont know what to say right now. We had so many good times, and yes even bad ones. You are going to be missed so very much. Just listen to everyone today and hear our prayers. We will all meet again one day, I promise. To Eli's family and friends, I know that nothing anyone can say will do any justice, just have peace in knowing that he is with the Lord.

I wish I could have been there to help you through it this time. You always brought a smile to my face and I will cherish the memories I have with you forever.

Eli.. It saddens me that this happened. That you will never again experience life's simple pleasures like the sun on your face, the wind through the trees, or the water lapping at your feet.. No more hanging out with your friends..Not even the bittersweet pain of emotional hurt, or physical pain that lets you know you are alive.. I will miss you as will many others. In my memories you will stay and I hope your story will help someone else think. Life has its ups and downs..However, LIFE IS A GIFT and I think sometimes we forget that..Miss you Eli.. Hope to see you again someday. Hope you finally have some peace..
Love,
Amy Jenkins
