Eli's Girl

In Memory of...

The Tackle Myeloma family recently lost two very special people. Kenneth Talley and his company, Porter Lighting, was a TMF supporter from day one. His grandson is on Big Eli's Wildcat football team and he would never fail to mention how much it meant to him to see grandson happy. In April of 2008 we were informed that Mr. Talley had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The irony of that just blew us away. Here was a man who gave to our cause because of Elijah's diagnosis with myeloma, only to find himself diagnosed with the same disease a couple of years later. Mr. Talley will be missed.

We also recently lost Dillion Wolford. As many of you may remember Dillion was the young cancer patient that was a huge Dalllas Stars fan. His parents wanted to do something special for him so Elijah and Trevor Daley (one of Dillion's favorite Stars players) visited him at hospital. We were later told by one of Dillion's doctors that that day was one of the first times he didn't feel any pain. Elijah ran in to Dillon during a hospital visit not too long after this picture was taken. He kept talking about how strong Dillion must be and how impressed he was with his desire to keep fighting.

Please keep the Wolford family and the Talley family in your prayers.
