I was so saddened to hear of the loss of such a great person. I remember back in elementary school how he always made me laugh and smile everyday in our special reading class. I remember how sad we all were when hugo hit and ya'll had to move off folly beach to west ashley it was such a sad moment. It hard to think that his life had to end so soon. My prayers go out to your family and especially his children. I'm so sorry for all of your losses it's so hard my heart bleeds for you all.

I didn't know E.L. personally but I worked at the terminal he worked at and nothing but good things were said about this young man. He was a humble person from what I seen and he will be missed by the people he worked with at the South Carolina State Ports Authority. God bless him and his family.

I still hear laughter down the street.
Then, just now I hear silence. But the laughter will return because of all the strong family memories you will share. ONE LOVE

We are so sorry to hear of your family's loss. We know how hard it is to go through this time, right now. We pray that you can find peace within yourselves. We pray that peace fills the hole that you feel in your hearts. We know the emptiness you feel, and we pray for strength for everyone of you. Even though right now you feel so much pain, it will subside as your days go on. I remember El when he was a very young. Mark and I(Lybra) were classmates many times over at James Island. And Josh was in the water many times with you guys. We will keep you in our prayers. Remember to honor El's memory in all that you do-each and every day!
