Mart Elis Ilves

Dad, I can't even fathom that it's been a week since you passed away. There is a hole in my heart so wide and deep, that won't be filled until the day we are reunited in heaven. I love and miss you so much. I'm so grateful I was able to spend the last 6 weeks of your life with you. Those are moments I will cherish forever - all of the talks we had, prayers we prayed, music we listened to and time we spent in silence being side by side, together. I will always carry the wonderful memories we made together with me and the lessons you taught me. I'm so proud you passed on your love of nature and the mountains, music, animals and your Estonian heritage to me. I'm proud to be your daughter and carry on your grit and feisty personality. I consider it a compliment when people say "you're just like your dad"! Thank you for giving me life and so much more. Until we meet again, I love you daddy, always and forever. Xoxo Your Daughter, Rachel!

Elis was a close neighbor . Hard working, frequent visitor, & caring friend. He loved his many cats & 2 dogs. They were his family. He grieved over losing his best friends, Buddy & Boots until God took him home. He is at eternal peace where he has been reunited with his dogs. They are now enjoying walking together exploring Heavens kingdom.
