Elmer was one of my best friends and I loved him like a father. I looked up to him. I just wished we had not lived so far apart. He was a man that stood out in life. I will miss him dearly.

Aunt Merle I'm so sorry for your loss I pray that Jesus give you comfort in this time of your loss. You are still a beautiful woman and Uncle Elmer will look down on you and say so many good things about you. I can remember when I was a kid you and Uncle Elmer were very good to me. God bless you Aunt Merle and I love you.

Mrs. Merla, What a wonderful man Mr. Elmar was. I loved that sweet smile of his. I know you will miss him. You know I always loved coming to your home for Art Classes.I learned so much more then just how to paint. You and Mr Elmar taught me the true meaning of "Faith in God". Ilove you both.
