Elijah Pollard

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Baby Elijah Swayzer Pollard. Born on July 28, 2024, in Dallas, TX, Baby Elijah graced us with his presence, adding a new ray of sunshine to our lives, however brief. His residence was in Princeton, Texas, where he was cradled in the warmth of his loving parents' arms.
Though Baby Elijah was with us for a fleeting moment, his impact was profound and everlasting. His beautiful, innocent eyes held a world of promise and an infectious joy that will be remembered forever. His absolute love for his mother Patricia Pollard's soothing voice and the tender belly rubs from his father Emmils Jr. was evident in his radiant smiles. He was eagerly looking forward to meeting his big sister Emryi and becoming her little partner in mischief. As the poet Kahlil Gibran once said, "In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." Baby Elijah was indeed our morning dew, refreshing our hearts and souls with his pure love and joy.
Even though his life was short, Baby Elijah left an indelible imprint on our lives. His memory is a treasure that we will hold in our hearts forever. His infectious joy, the sound of his soft coos, and his innocent smiles will forever be etched in our memories. His life was a reminder of how precious every moment is and that love, no matter how long or short, will always leave its mark. As Helen Keller said, "What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us."

Let us remember him not for the sorrow of his departure but for the joy he brought into our lives, however brief. Let us celebrate his life and the love he shared with us.
