I used to eat lunch with him everyday. He had a way of making me seem like I was important, and that I mattered. I will always remember his way of giving me undivided attention.

My deepest condolences on your loss. To lose a child a such a young age is devastating. May fond memories of Elijah bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before he passed away. My hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. May you find comfort in knowing that God has promised us that we will soon be reunited with our loved ones. “There is going to be a resurrection,” the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29) Again, my sincerest condolences during this time of grief.

I heard this tonight and I couldn't help but think of Elijah, it's not often that you meet a 17 yr old who is mindful of how others are feeling and can uplift those who are down...but he did and he will be greatly missed and our thoughts are with his family as they travel down this path towards healing...

I didn't know him well but he was a sweet and an amazing person I'll miss him. I'm sad I never got the oppunity to be close to him like everyone else did. But the short amount of time I did I was grateful for it.
