Today as we lay Elias to rest it is our prayer that the life he lived will be a testament to others of the goodness of God. His life may have been brief, but it was full of kindness, happiness and love. We pray that we can all keep his memory alive by being as kind and caring as Elias was, and like him, serving God with our whole hearts.
