I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Please know that I am sending love your way.
So sorry God bless you in this time of sorrow may he give you peace. I will never forget him I had him on bus when he was preschooler.
Rachel, Matt, and Family- with a heavy heart I send sincere condolences to you on the passing of sweet Elijah. He was a dandy boy! I was lucky to know him and be one of his teachers. Thank you for sharing him! Peace be with all of you.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son. He rode our bus in junior high, and we really enjoyed his presence. In high school he would stop by on his way in to school. We will miss seeing him.
Ishaq and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry and sad to hear this. I was a paraeducator at Cordley Elijah’s K-3 years. He taught me so much. I’ll never forget his joyful reaction to my first born baby when I brought her in one day (he was around 5). My heart is with you, his family, at this difficult time. <3
Rachel and Matt,
My heart sank when I heard of Elijah’s passing. He was such a sweet kiddo and I enjoyed my time with him while I was at Cordley. He has always been in my heart ❤
Please accept my sincerest condolences. He will be greatly missed!!

I am so sorry for your loss. This news breaks my heart. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I was Elijah’s first grade teacher and I can still see his handsome smile and he always brought a smile to my face. He was a kind, sweet soul and always made people around him laugh. Elijah will be missed!
Love,

Dear Mikel Family,
So sad to learn of Elijah’s passing. He was a precious boy, and a true friend to Caleb. I will miss their play dates and “conversations.” We will never forget him.
