Eli Seth Matthews Scholarship Will Be Awarded May 27, 2014

HERO

 

On May 27, 2014 the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation, Inc. will award the Eli Seth Matthews scholarship to a graduating senior from the Oxford Area High School for the third year in a row.  This is awarded to a student that is going to study for a career in the medical field.  The high school students do so much to help the foundation and without their hard work and dedication to the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation we would not be as strong and thriving as we are. We are truly grateful for all that they do.

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY ELI WE LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!!

Today November 27, 2013 you would be 13 years old.  Eli not one second of any given day goes by that we don’t think of you.  The unspeakable pain in our hearts will never go away as we miss you.  Your smile would light up a room; your bravery was none I have ever witnessed in my life.  We miss hugging you.  We miss kissing you.  We miss watching what funny things you might say or do.  We miss waiting for you to come downstairs just to see what  cool clothes you would pick out for the day.  Most of all we just miss holding you in our arms telling you how much we love you.  Happy Birthday in Heaven Eli we Love you with all of our hearts sweet Angel.  Love Mom Dad and Big brother Austin.

 Everyone please watch this video.  Turn up the volume.
