Oh my goodness. I just received a letter from the Royals regarding my friend Elic. I spoke to him the last time on January 27th during the evening when we were having my son's 16th and my mom's 80th Bday. I bought a card to send to him ,but it never got mailed. My family feels a terrible loss and will miss him dearly as we do your mom. Sincerely Linda Hokenson
