Elijah David Varner

Elijah was born on August 15, 2013 at 2:56 A.M. He weighed 3lbs 13oz and was 16 inches long. Eli was born with a rare genetic disorder known as Cornelia de Lange syndrome. Due to complications from this disorder, he passed away shortly after birth. Although his time on this earth was brief, Eli felt the love of his parents and has left lasting footprints on their hearts. Eli will be greatly missed. Eli will always remain his parents precious baby and Lucas' little brother, and they look forward to holding him again in heaven one day.
