Greg, Paula and family. Mr Elmo was one of a kind and always smiling and had a good attitude about life. Our family knew and loved both him and your mother. Longtime residence of Stafford and did a lot for the community. Just know our prayers are with you now and later. He just wanted to join your mom and not miss her anymore. Keep your memories near your heart. Prayers to all.

Truly 2 Legends & Treasures of Sugar Land,Tx &
Our Dulles Hs Family! MR.ELMO & MRS.WINKY were so awesome to everyone they ever encountered no matter the background,race or economic status
they saw no boundaries in anyone!
I can remember being 3-6yrs old traveling on the
DHS Cheerleader Bus with my mom & Mrs.Paula they were the cheerleader coaches & every game day
Elmo & Winky rode with us & always had treats for all of us they were like everyone's grandparents on that bus, MR Elmo was always telling stories & some of his famous jokes lol & I can't tell you how many times He would take me to the restroom during games my mom would say no candy no Sodas well you better believe Mr Elmo would buy me candy & whatever I wanted LoL, my mom couldn't say anything because MR Elmo would say
"Let him have it girl he's a growing boy & plus I bought it!"
So many more times I could share on here but it would be like writing a novel!

We send our Love & Prayers to the
Ordeneaux Family during this time &
We THANKYOU all for sharing MR.Elmo & Mrs.Winky with all of us for so many years,

Someone once said you can count on one hand those who truly impact your life. Elmo is one of those who influenced my life from the time I ran the streets of Stafford as a kid until now as I Pastor Family Worship Center.
He believed in me!
