Elora is truly a child of God and her name means light of God. Her personality was so engaging that she attracted people to her with her definite of purpose. She was years ahead of her time being an evangelist, pianist, singer, artist, soccer player, fashionista and more all at the age of 7. At St. Anastasia her favorite subject was religion and out of all the first graders she received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Religion.
