Tony & family,
We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your father and family member. Elias was someone who set a wonderful example of kindness and hospitality. He was also an excellent example of a spiritual man. He was a friend to many including my parents when they were alive, often doing kind and generous acts. Our sincere condolences and love to you and your family.
