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.

It was my pleasure to grow up in the Church with Mr. Elmer as an example of a true Christian. After our marriage, it was our honor to be his friend. He always had an encouraging word.
