A Legacy of Faith and Love
Eliazar’s Life reminds us that the life we lived is not measured only by the years we are given but by the love we share, the lives we touch and the faith we leave behind.  He answered the Lord’s calling by ministering to others, helping those in need, and sharing God’s love wherever he went.

While his family will deeply miss his presence, they can take comfort in knowing that his legacy lives on through the generations he leaves behind and the countless lives he touched throughout his 96 years.
His earthly work is finished, but his testimony remains. May his family find peace in God’s promises, strength in one another, and comfort in the beautiful memories they will forever hold dear.
