Elliott, III of Bossier City, LA and William C. Elliott of Grand Prairie, TX, daughter Patricia Elliott Willcox of Bossier City, LA, sister Dolores W.

The family would like to especially thank all of the staff at Landmark Nursing Home for their loving kindness to us and to our mother during her brief stay. Your kindness and care for her will not be forgotten.
