We may not have seen eye to eye ALL the time Elias...but I know one thing for sure that we both did agree on...we both loved Jodi unconditionally and I couldn't have been more happy knowing that you will be the one that is with Jo in the afterlife. Thanks for making her happy and giving her a beautiful son....it's what she ALWAYS wanted. But not only 1 son...you gave her 2! Xavier and Cristian are remarkable boys and will grow up to be remarkable men...R.I.P. to Elias and Jodi

I wish that I could have had the chance to tell you and thank you for showing me what real unconditional love is and for sharing that with our beautiful son. You were an extraordinary father though I need not say it because everyone will see as our children as he grows older will be living proof. Thank you for blessing me with him & all you.ve done and all that you were will live on through him for I will see you in him I truly wish that things between us had not ended as they had but I will always have fond memories of the good times. There are no words to describe all in which I wish to say or wish I had said before it was forever too late. I will love you for the amazing son in whom we were blessed to have together. Always and forever...

I've known Elias for about 17 years although both of us married and moved on from our younger single years he was always a wonderful person. I enjoyed his sence of humor, he was a lot of fun. I feel very saddened that he's left behind his children he will be there watching over them. They are so blessed to have wonderful grandparents to protect them and care for them. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss

Bevie,
You must know that Jodi was there to meet her beloved Elias with open arms and you now have two beautiful angels to watch over your family. Your family has been through so much and you still manage to smile and cheer up others. You are an inspiration to me Bev. Someday I hope to be like you! Sending all my love and hugs.
