It has been years since I have talk to any of you guys, but everytime I drive down Whitmore Ave.I think of you guys. When we lost Terry and Gary in 1976 you guys were there to help in many ways. It really hurts to know the pain you guys are going through. We lost dad in 2007 and Angie in 2008 and we almost lost Steve a few weeks ago when he fell out of a tree. My mom is there in Hot Springs, Arkansas right now. He has a bruise on his brain and we don't know what the future holds but praying he makes a full recovery.Jenice you live in the town that was my dads old stomping ground before he was a dad. How funny is that? Steve is in the hospital in Hot Spings, I don't know how far that is but my mom would love to see you. She ran in to Allen I think in Beebe, Ak. in 1991 or sometime around there when they had just moved there. What a small world it is. You will be in our prayer as you are in our hearts. The Elliott Family-Hickman,Ca.
