For Eleth - easily the kindest and loveliest person I've ever known.

I am Eleths sister Menna and I miss her so so much. I organised a Celebration Service for her and Tomas in our local chapel where she was babtised and the one she attended for Sunday School. The Chapel was full of her friends.The service was full of emotion,laughter and total respect for two individuals who were so friendly,caring and had such a wonderful personality that will never be forgotten by the people who loved them both. Eleth was a twin.Her brother Meurig passed when he was three days old.Eleth is now with her brother in Wales. Next to the mountains,hillside,beaches and the peaceful Wales that she loved so much. I now have a place to go and visit and they will never be forgotten.

I was so sorry to hear of Eleth's passing. She was such an interesting and intelligent person. She brightened up a room when she was there with her warm and friendly personality and good sense of humor. We in the Welsh Society appreciated her willingness to share her "Welshness" with us.

I am so sorry for your loss. Eleth was always so sweet & thoughtful when I would run into her in the neighborhood. Her accent always brought a smile to my face. She was such a warm person. This loss is very upsetting. I am so sorry.

Lee & Bob, please know that Scott & I care. I have fond memories of Scott & Lee getting together to play and seeing Eleth at her or my job or answering the phone at mine to that lovely accent. We would keep each other posted on our families. I will miss her. We are so sorry for so much loss, especially for you. I hope you can take some comfort in the belief that Tomos & Eleth are together.

Eleth was a wonderful and loving person anyone could ever have. When i use to work at KMART she was there to help me every step of the way, even when I wasn't feeling well, she would always make sure I was ok and that the store was running superb. I will forever miss Mrs. Eleth.
