    My condolences to the Elliott family. “If a man die, shall he live again” said Job a long time ago. The Bible answer yes, because at Isaiah 26:19 we read: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”, so very soon you may see Mr. Elliott again doing what he loved to do and you enjoying him again. Please find comfort in this.

  12. Paula and Mike Mcevilla says:

    Joanne,
    We have many fond memories of time spent with you and George. We will always remember him as an up before breakfast kinda guy. Happiest when he had a project, finding one if he didn’t. We know his stubbornness kept him going until he just couldn’t . Here’s hoping you are at peace, knowing that he did “do it his way”. You know where we are when you need us.
    Love, Paula and Mike
