Yesterday, when our small choir sang "Let There Be Peace On Earth," I envisioned a chorus of beautiful little cherubs singing, and in the middle was Elias. Let peace fill your hearts knowing that he is enveloped, forever, with love. Bob & Diana Lowery

Even though I didn't know Elias from the pictures I saw of him he was so cute and made me smile whenever I saw a picture of him. He will be forever missed.

linda, I am so sorry that little Elias is no longer with you physically... He is now a Angel watching down on your family... He fought a hard fight from the beginning.... I have been praying for him since I heard of his need.... He is no longer suffering and is breathing with ease....

I've never met you or your precious son -- only followed his heroic story on Facebook. Thank you for sharing his journey with me. I, personally, am forever touched by your little boy and your love for him. And thank you, too, for bringing deep awareness to the need for organ donation. Sending much love to you and your family.

David and I send our love as you celebrate the gifts that Eli gave you all in the short space of earth time that he was given. It is always sad when life is measured in minutes and days instead of years, but be comforted in knowing his days were spent surrounded with hope and love. The impact he made will be felt for many lifetimes.

We thank God for weaving our family into Eli's life so that he and Ellie could share their journey and show all the grown ups true strength and determination.
Their friendship has bonded us together forever and we will keep his memory with us always.
May God give you continued faith to carry on as He weaves the path for the rest of your journey. Trust Him and walk towards His light.
