May Trajan Robert Whistling Elk RIP, “…Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart… I have come to know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good during one’s life; and also that every man should eat and indeed drink and see good for all his hard work. It is the gift of God.”Ecclesiastes 3:10-13″
The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, … to a resurrection of life.” John 5:28,29

We just heard the terrible sad news . My heart goes out to all of you. He was such a likable young man. I got a long so well with him and we always had so many laughs. Nothing can be more heartache than losing a child–but it is comforting knowing that we will see them again. I wish I were there to give you my love and support—I am late with getting my sympathy sent to you but I just now heard of the news. I am so sorry. I miss all of you so much–and this news makes me so sad. You are all in my prayers. I will have Mass said for Trajen and all of you. Mary and Jolyn Dillon
J Johnson says
Dear Family and friends of Trajan Robert Whistling Elk – please be comforted by the beautiful memories of Mr. Whistling Elk and by the sure hope of Bible promises that will be fulfilled. In the Bible book of Genesis, we notice that God intended for mankind to live in perfect conditions in the Garden of Eden, which was a paradise where everything was “very good” (Gen 1:31). Suffering and death was not a part of God’s original purpose but was introduced through Adam’s disobedience (Gen 2:17). There will come a time when the dead are resurrected (John 5:28, 29) and death will be done away with (Revelation 21:4) Faith in Bible promises will ease the pain of this loss. Please continue to take in Bible knowledge which gives us comfort and hope (John 17:3).
Mz.WhistlingElk#30 says
i love you so much! <3 Miss you like crazy sucka!
T. Kelly says
May the family of find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) With deepest sympathy.
Joanne Cowles says
Please accept my deep sympathy for your loss Losing someone so young is especially painful I am sure. I have been comforted greatly by the promises of the earth’s future. Isaiah 33:24 tells us that the earth will see a time when “no resident will say I am sick”. Where ” the meek will inherit the earth”. (Psalms 37:29). When Jesus was on earth he demonstrated his desire to heal the sick and
resurrect the dead which will be done on a world wide scale. (Revelation 21:3,4 and John 5:28,29)
Then we will see the prophecy that “death will be swallowed up forever” fulfilled. Until that time when you can welcome back your Trajan may you be comforted.
