Eli was one of our deliverers at the VA Medical Center. He was always soft spoken and polite. If there were issues with timeliness or whatever, he voiced his opinion,concern or resolution and remained professional about it all. He truly made a difference during those times. My prayer is that God continues to bless his family as they live on in his spirit of love and kindness.
