Taps: Day is done , gone the sun, from the hill, from the lake, from the skies. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. Go to sleep, peaceful sleep, May the soldier or sailor, our God keep, on the land or the deep Safe in sleep, Love, good night, must thou go, when the day and the night need thee so?All is well, speedeth all to their rest, fades the light, and afar, goeth day and the stars shineth bright. Fare thee well, day has gone night is on Thanks and praise, for our days neath the sun, neath the stars, neath the sky, as we go this we know GOD IS NIGH.

Dear DAD it's been a year since your passing and we miss you so much.I am so thankful for the wonderful DAD you were to me. I will always treasure memories of you, especially times with you "on the job". we know you are in heaven but we miss you here. love, Mason and family

Dad, as we near the one year anniversary of your passing, it is with heavy hearts we bring this memorial book to a close. As everyone can see, you have been missed every day of our lives with special emphasis on birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. The last few weeks have been exceptionally difficult with your birthday, Mother's Day (in which you never failed to give Mom a dozen roses), your wedding anniversary next week and the anniversary of your passing. I understand we can talk to you every day even without this means of media; it has just been a very good way for Mom and all of us to feel a little more connected this first year. It is impossible to put into words how much you meant to the family, your friends but most of all to your granddaughter, Amanda. Not a day goes by that she does not mention you and how much you are missed in her life. One day the joyous prospect of a child for her and Jason will bear sadness that this child will never have had the opportunity to know you. Your work ethic, your love for Mom, your humor, your faith in God, and the ability to deal with your physical pain like none I have ever encountered. We will forever look back at this book and many family photos and always remember the man you were and know that you are with our Lord and Savor without any physical pain and the unspeakable love the you share with all. I love you Daddy.
Your only daughter,
Lisa

In Loving Memory:
A year has now passed since you left our lives. It was so very hard to experience all of the first events, holidays and birthdays without having you here. We have sorely missed that special role that you have always held in each of our individual lives. As our dad, grandfather, father in law, husband and most of all the head of our entire family you can never be replaced. Even though we realize that you are now in a better place your absence has not been easy for those left behind. Dad, you will always be with us in our hearts and our memories. Love never dies. We miss you so much.

A tribute to my husband: How good he is, my husband of so many years, tears come to my eyes, when I see how crepey his neck has become. How bravely he tries to straighten up. Once his jaw was hard and he stood tall. With no effort: It is as if his body had been sabotaged, one dark night by some unseen enemy. I know he feels that way. Yet, when I look at him today I feel far more tender toward him than ever I did when he was young and strong.And seemingly invulnerable, O my dear old friend-lover, time ravaged, fellow traveling, camourflaged boy, can it help you to know, can it help you to hear, that not only as you were but as you are, You are to me inexpressibly dear.Until we meet again, love always Corine

Grandpa,
I still think about you every day. It is so hard go through these pictures and see your smiling face and know that I can not experience it first hand anymore, but I know that you are smiling down on us. Jason and I are moving into a house this weekend. We are super excited about it. I told grandma she could be the first one to have dinner at our new dining room table! We saw a man at our church the other day that looked like you and it made me break down in tears. I wish I could hug you, kiss your face, or hear your Tarzan call just one more time. I will miss you for the rest of my life, but I will see you in Eternity! I love you more Papa Bear ~ Amanda

It will be one year on the 7th of June since you left, Lisa, Lance and I will be at our grandaughter Dystanys graduation in Ocala, so this may be the last time I get to post anything to you my love, after a year I am told they take off this website. A year is such a short period of time, I miss you more as each day goes by and really long to be there also. You are so blessed to be there with the Lord, watch for me as I hope to be there soon. I'll always love you. Corine

Hi honey, well today was my 79th birthday I don't know how I got so old so quick! I really miss you sweetheart, you always made my birthdays special. I have had a wonderful day, the kids are so good to me. God gave me four blessings and I didn't realize it until I got old. We went and visited your gravesite, but Iknow you are not there, you are with Jesus and I am so happy you are but my heart hurts from missing you and it always will. I will always love you. your wife Corine

Dad, this is the first of many special occasions you will not be with us to celebrate. Today, Lance turns 53. He is doing really well and is taking Mom to church every week. Of course, Mom's birthday will be on the 16th, and Mason's later this month, then Thanksgiving and Christmas. We will miss you so very much, it breaks my heart each time I think about the holidays without your silly laugh and beautiful smile! Mom gave me some of your “snow-houses” to put in the kitchen, I think of you every time I go in the kitchen now. I love you and miss you Daddy, and always will. Love, Lisa.

Daddy, we are all so lonely without you. I miss talking to you. It seems like the Lord is calling home so many of our friends parents. It makes me sad, and just seems to open our hurting hearts all over again. We are taking very good care of Mom but we will never replace you. I love you with all my heart.
August 7, 2011
Two months today my love and I can still feel my heart breaking, I miss you so I think you know how much because I believe you can see me from heaven. God has been so good to me and the precious daughter He gave us has held me up when all I wanted to do was dissappear and be with you. I know in time I will be there also. I am so blessed. all my love your wife Corine

The End Of The Road Is But A Bend In The Road
When we feel we have nothing left to give
And we are sure that the "song has ended"--
When our day seems over and the shadows fall
And the darkness of night has descended,
Where can we go to find the strength
To valiantly keep on trying,
Where can we find the hand that will dry
The tears that the heart is crying--
There's but one place to go and that is to God
And, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problem without restraint
And gain strength with Him at our side--
And together we stand at life's crossroads
And view what we think is the end,
But God has a much bigger vision
And he tells us it's only a bend--
For the road goes on and is smoother,
And the "pause in the song" is a "rest,"
And the part that's unsung and unfinished
Is the sweetest and richest and best--
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load,
Your work is not finished or ended,
You've just come to "a bend in the road."

I was proud to have had Elwyn as my Father-in Law for the past 10 and 1/2 years.He was an inspiration to me as a man of faith and as an example of a devoted family man and provider.He was as hard a working man as I have known, and I know how much he missed being able to do the things he wanted to do,due to his disabilitie.That didn't stop him from trying though. While he may not have been able to physically do the things he wanted,his unwavering desire to serve the Lord, never waivered.His testimony will live on in me and I am sure in everyone who knew him.His love for the Lord is a true testament to the man he was. I am so happy to have been able to have shared a part of his life, since the Lord brought his loving daughter, Lisa, and I together. He will live on in our hearts until we join him one day, and once again enjoy his company and see his smiling face. Until then, he will always be in our thoughts and we will never forget his love for his Lord and his family. The things I will cherish the most about his life, is the gift he provided to me through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Crist, and that would be a wonderful daughter, and my wife, Lisa. Thank you Elwyn, and I promise that I will take good care of her. We will miss you, but we know that you are happy in you new home.That golden BRICK mansion!
Love in Christ,
Tom

He will be missed here but just think of the reunion that we will all have when we get to see each other again. I shall always remember his sweet, big giant smile. I will cherish you both forever.

My Dearest Grandpa Green,
I know it hurt you
It hurt me too,
Now that you're gone
All I know is I miss you.
You were there for so long,
I never thought you would leave.
I thought you had another year
Waiting up your sleeve.
I know you loved me
And I still love you too.
So I'm trying to be strong
Just for you.
I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'll never be.
I just hope you're up there
And that you're proud of me.
You had to let go
You were holding on for so long
But there's not a day I don't think of you,
And how you were so strong.
You were a man of your word,
Always selfless and kind,
Your dedication, hard work and values
Helped me form mine.
I just want to tell you
That you're always in my heart.
Even though I feel sorrow
I know we're not apart.
Thinking of you, Grandpa...

Words can not express the loss of Elwyn Green to our family. He has been my father-in-law since 1975 and my Dad since 1985 when I lost my own father. He has been loving and dependable through all the years. He gave me a wonderful husband. I love him and miss his happy smile. Love, Susan

Dad, We miss you so much and always will. Thank you for everything that you taught us thoughout the years. You were the best father and example we could ever have. Don't worry. We promise to take good care of Mom and to be there whenever she needs us. It is going to be so very hard not too hear your voice and see your smiling face when we visit Mom. We have so many great memories to keep close and remind us of you and how dearly you loved each one of us. You were always so strong for us and now we must be strong for each other.
Love you Dad.

Mrs. Green,
The Memorial honoring and celebrating the life of your husband and friend was truly a beautiful service. Mr. Green was devoted to you and his family. I too, remember and have personally experienced his laugh, smile and wonderful sense of humor. I know you will miss him terribly. Hold onto those precious memories you made together and draw on them during the really rough time. I know you have a strength to carry you that can only come the Comforter, our Lord Jesus Christ. I will be praying for you and your children for peace and comfort to carry you through the days to come.
Lisa, you continually amaze me with your strength and ability to express your thoughts. Anyone who knows you and your Dad, could see the loving bond you shared. You honored your Dad in a way that I'm sure, made him proud. I am proud to call you sister.
My love and heart felt sympathies go out to you both.

My smile when I was feeling down, My nintendo partner, My "underdogger", My jokester, My bible teacher, My makeup palette, My hands and feet partner, My spoons opponent, My father figure, My "peace" of mind, My Jiminy Cricket, ....My Grandpa!
There will never be a day that you are not on my mind and in my heart. I love you so much and will miss you with more than words can express. You worked so hard in preparation for my wedding to walk down the aisle and dance on the dance floor. I will never forget the barking dog joke, the underdog, or our secret candy stash (Grandma still doesn't know where it is).
Kiss Jesus on the cheek for me! I will see you soon.
Love always,

I pray for grace and peace upon the family at this trying time. I will never forget Elwyn's work and devotion while at Calvary Baptish Church. His teaching and song leading was to say the least unique. His love for his family was always noticeable. With his sense of humor you never knew what to expect next. His lifestyle showed his love and devotion to his Saviour. He will surely be missed by his family and friends.
