January 29, 2022 at 4:17 amWords can not begin to express the sadness that this brings. Distance nor time can ever determine or define what the heart feels. I love you cousin and will always remember the times spent at family cookouts. May God continue to comfort and bless our family doing these hard times.

February 1, 2022 at 4:47 pmHeaven has gained an angel – a funny, kind, witty angel. Elden, I miss you already. I will see you on the other side. Until we meet again, you will reside in my heart. To Mr. and Mrs. Skinner, Khalil, Nasir, Radiah, and the rest of the family, hold on to God’s unchanging hand during this time of sadness. During times of darkness, bask in the memories of Elden’s bright light. He will forever shine upon you.
