Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
This is a tribute to my mother, who has faught a valiant battle with various health issues during the last 1-2 years. Secondly, this is a tribute to anyone who has filled her life with love, joy and caring; the Retired McConnell AFB Officers’ Wives’ Club, Harry Hynes Hospice, the ladies’ bridge club and her personal health care providers. I’d also like to thank her neighbors for all of the kindness they have shown. Sincerely, Theresa (Elliott) Rich
My grandmother was as wonderful as she could be. I’m glad she got to meet her great-grandson before she passed. I love her and will miss her dearly! Love you~Amanda*
My mother gave birth to me and my brother, James Michael Elliott in June of 1960. It was the 27th day of that month. James Michael did not last the week… I hope in Heaven she will meet my brother and her second Son.
My Mother gave me many things. Besides her unending love, she game me three wonderful sisters so I will never have to be alone again. My sisters are the love of my Life.
My Mother was always there when I needed her. She never left me alone. No Son could ever ask for a more perfect Mother. I love you Mother, and I will always love you and miss you. Love, Your Son, Joe
We are all sorry to hear about your mom. Some of us were going to try to make the trip to Wichita to see you, but it just didn’t work out this time. We are going to try to get a reunion together for early next summer for all of us ‘Elliott cousins’ and families so we can all catch up. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I will always remember the happy times spent with her, especially during the Holidays. She sat down with her adult grandchildren to play Monopoly (and won!) Much love!
