I felt so honored to attend Elliott's memorial. Even though I had the privilege to know Elliott for many years, I learned so many wonderful things about him. Mark, you and your sister, Debbie, spoke so eloquently and superbly protrayed the beautiful life that Elliott had.

My deepest sympathy to Paula, David, Mitchell and Andrew and to you, Mark, Ella and Cole.

God bless you and may Elliott rest in peace.
