Daniel and Tabitha plan to carry Elliott’s ashes from Arizona to Montaña de Oro State Park as his final resting place in California (pending permission/permit). They chose this location because Elliott loved the sound of waves and the rays from the sun when he was in his mother’s womb. Elliott was born in the area. He loved to go out walking and running whenever they went to Montaña de Oro State Park. Daniel and Tabitha met several wonderful families over the time with Elliott at the beach and he loved playing with their kids. Elliott also loved to play with the sand and go on a long walk on the beach then briefly play in the waves as they came and went.
Once Elliott’s ashes are released, Daniel and Tabitha will part in their ways of remembrance of Elliott’s life. Daniel plans to stop by all the places where Elliott spent time with his parents, to celebrate every moment of their time together.
A memorial ceremony will be held after Elliott’s ashes are spread. You are invited to honor his memory by sharing stories of your interactions with him or simply showing your love by being present at the ceremony in his name. Date pending.
Both Daniel and Tabitha are in deep grief and shock as Elliott had excellent health, so his passing was unexpected; he passed away in his sleep peacefully. They both will need loving support from us now going forward and I will spend as much time with Daniel as I can, while balancing my life commitments.
Written with love for Elliott from Grandma Lori.
