Willis M. married

This site is dedicated to my wonderful Dad, my earthly father, whose Godly example has made it natural
for me to trust my Heavenly Father. "Hats off and hand over the heart," to you, from whence my maiden
name came. Thank you for being an honorable man, who carries the Eleam name with great dignity.. . . . . . .
and to my mother, whose diligence and influence gave me the desire to seek out our ancestors and pursue
the quest of finding our origin, who sought other family members, books, photos and records to try to gain
insight and information on this family called Eleam. . . . . . . . and to my grandparents who I never knew,
that were already deceased when I was born. In honor of you who carried the name well. Those living who
speak of you, it still brings tears to their eyes because of your nature, your nuturing and your love for the
family. . . . . . . . and to my niece, Christy Marie, the infant daughter of my brother and sister in law,
whose life of only seven hours taught this family more about love, life and the mercy of God than if she had
lived one hundred years. Your life, Christy, blessed us beyond measure and your death was grief beyond
words. We continue to keep you close in our hearts and await the moment that we see you again and can
hold you in our arms. | | ~ Diane
