Michael J. Elia

REMEMBERING THE ONE IN A MILLION Mike Elia:

Dear family members of Michael Elia: Richard (Dick) and I moved to Wilmington, MA in 1958 as newly weds. We frequented Elias's Country store where we were always treated as family. Being new residents we always had many questions which Mike would answer no matter how difficult. He was always kind, friendly and helpful. It's not time to ever say good-by to Mike. Yes, he did as a God fearing person leave this beautiful planet earth and is now free of all pain and suffering. He will always be part of our hearts and hope a pray that God our Heavenly Father will continue granting all his living family all the courage, strength and peace needed in Mike's absence.

With love, deep sympathy, thoughts, and prayers!

Mary and family

I´m so sorry to hear about Mike. We used to walk to the store when it was Bucks. I babysat John´s children and remember Mike. The end of an era. My condolences to the family.

Dear family of Mike, we're so very sorry to hear about your loss. When we moved to Wilmington in 1958 we shopped at Elias Country Store. We got to know each of the wonderful family members who were always so friendly, helpful and caring. They made us feel like family and still continue to. We hope and pray that when Mike drew his last breath that the Holy Spirit within him carried his soul up into God's Heavenly Home. God greeted Mike with wide open loving arms to his loving, peaceful, pain free Home with Him. May God continue to love, give you all the health, strength and courage needed at this very sad time in all your lives. With love, thoughts, prayers and sincere sorrow.
Mary and family.
