"It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it's what
you leave behind you when you go..."
Elijah Jordan Goss
4/3/93-9/17/10
Eli Goss created a legacy of kindness in his 17 1/2 short years here that has touched the lives of hundreds of people in his small Vermont community. Like a big rock tossed into a small lake, the ripples felt by Eli's sensitive heart and warming smile taught people of all ages simple truths about family, friendship, faith and forgiveness that keep him alive in the hearts of many. Eli impacted his generation by building a bridge of friendship between his small private school and the public high school in his hometown, which broke down social walls and stereotypes, creating friendship and support between the two schools.
The Eli Goss Memorial Fund was created by the efforts of the UCA Parents Association, his friends and family to carry on his laughter and his helpfulness in our community. Eli inspired everyone he met to...
"Live with your heart wide open, love and have no fear, share your hugs and smiles and try to listen well. Freely give to people, even if it's your last buck... and do the work required to have a really nice truck! Never burn your bridges, live each day like it's your last, put other people before everything and take lots of time to laugh!"
"Caring about students with heart..."
