I cherish my years as a board member and Mother Advisor of Lexington Assembly No. 37 with Elmer as the Dad Advisor. He was a wonderful man -- liked and admired by everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed. My sympathy to you, Barbara and Jean, and the other members of his family.

I will always remember Dad G presenting me my Bible at Rainbow so many years ago. The passage he picked is still marked with his handwriting and I will always treasure the words.
Mom G and Jean you are always in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
