Elfeso was an outstanding person and the kindest soul ever. Forever remembered and etched in our hearts.

[@shereenmishra4316]

A VERY NICE PERSON.
A LOVING HUMAN BEING

[@growtocycle6992]

What a kind and giving man. We need to do a nationwide fundraiser for water in the Pacific, to honour this man's legacy.
May God be with his family, peace!

It is a shame that the voice New Zealand needs to hear has past away too soon as we needed his leadership in our parliament. The only consolation is that he fell doing what he loved, Trying to Lift Others Up.
