Gene and Lee,   and your family,
I am so very sorry to hear   about your brother's passing. You are in our prayers, thoughts and in our minds during this time. I, and my brothers will never forget your kindness during  our loss. May God be with you all. You are in our prayers.

Our condolences to the family of Mr. Elliott. May the good Lord wrap His comforting arms around you as you navigate this difficult time. Pat & Douglas Maudlin, friends of Glenn & Janette Elliott

Gene, please know that you are in the prayers, thoughts and hearts of all your GHG family during this sorrow filled time.

Ray was one of the first neighbors I met in Wyndham Park. He told me some good stories about his life and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. My condolences to his family.

As a young engineer joining DuPont in 1969, Chester was one of the first engineers that I met.  Throughout my next 9 years working with Chester I found him to be the most honorable, honest, knowledgeable mentor that I could ever have had.  He is in the top drawer of mankind, and the kind of person that we all should just attempt to follow in his footsteps.  His life will be everlasting!     Steve Desirey

I am so sorry for your loss...I know Mr. Elliott was a very special and dear man and he will be greatly missed.  I will be praying for you all and thinking of you during this time of sorrow. My love to you all.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

My sweet Lala, Stan. Brad and Kim here is a poem that I found that may help during your days of sorrow.  I love each of you very much and grieve with you.  Hope this helps:

My Dearest Family
Some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know 
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven 
where I dwell with God above 
where there's no more tears or sadness 
there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy 
just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you 
when my life on Earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me 
and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
as for your dearest family 
they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly 
as part of My big plan,
there's so much that we have to do 
to help our mortal man.
Then God gave me a list of things 
He wished for me to do, 
and foremost on that list of mine 
is to watch and care for you.
And I will be beside you 
every day and week and year, 
and when you're sad, 
I'm standing there 
to wipe away the tear.
And when you lie in bed at night, 
the days chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you 
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth 
and all those loving years, 
because you're only human 
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain,
remember there would be no flowers, 
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you 
of all that God has planned,
but if I were to tell you, 
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, 
though my life on Earth is o'er. 
I am closer to you now 
than I ever was before.
And to my very many friends, 
trust God knows what is best. 
I'm still not far away from you, 
I'm just beyond the crest.
There are rocky roads ahead of you, 
and many hills to climb,
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy 
and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World
so the World will give to you.
If you can help somebody 
who is in sorrow or in pain, 
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented 
that my life it was worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low, 
just lend a hand to pick him up 
as on your way you go.
When you are walking 
down the street 
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps 
only half a step behind.
And when you feel the gentle breeze 
or the wind upon your face, 
that's me giving you a great big hug 
or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free, 
remember you're not going
you are coming here to me,
And I will always love you
from that land way up above. Ruth Ann Mahaffey (author)
