• 46. Elliott, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of you MOM. Only a mother can understand the true love for a son. She was so proud of you it was all in her eyes. How proud you must be to know she was there when you made it and really deserved to be a winner. I wish you all the best in the future always remember in whatever you do . Keep it in memory of your MOM. Good Luck Sincerly, Ruth From the Mother of a son.

• 49. I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She loved you completely and although we are all your fans, she was your greatest fan of all. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how she introduced you as "MY Elliot Yamin". Another beautiful moment was when she was riding in a open car parade with you and she was so overcome with the love and attention you were getting, she broke down and put her hand over her eyes. I'm happy she was here with you to see your huge success.
