Elias Blaise was a bright beam of sunshine the moment he entered our lives. He was always smiling as long as his diaper was changed and his tummy was full. Elias brought everyone happiness during his short time with us. His smile was absolutely radiant and always made you feel warm when you saw it. He loved to be held, so that he could feel safe. Now even though we can’t hold him anymore, Jesus will hold him for us until we can meet again.

The family wishes to commemorate his brightness in life by wearing pastels and light colors to the service.
