Dear Elon and family,

Just yesterday morning, I went to find Elon´s contact details as I´d lost all my contacts and wanted to send him a script I knew he´d love -
I found this obituary instead.
Woe is life.

The tears and memories haven´t stopped.

Elon was a beautiful person. Inside and Out.
Rare beyond words.

He will always be my favourite swimmer, friend and magician. You were all so lucky to have him as a son, brother, uncle and cousin.
With greatness sympathy.

Until we meet again Elon, always yours.

I´m very sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Elon and BB&N, and though we were not really friends, I will always remember him as one of the truly nice people in our class.
