Elbert L. Pannell

I didn't really know Bunt from anything other than the memories of my mother, Arlene Pannell. Even so, I feel like I have lost a favorite and much loved family member. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who knew him best.

Dad,
It's still hard to accept that you're gone. It seems like I should still be able to go up to your house and see you sitting on the front porch, which you called your "office". I miss your calls pretending to be Dr. Towbar. I miss seeing you running around Gardendale in your little red truck. And the funny Popeye faces you made, even while you were in the hospital suffering and in pain. You taught us never to give up. I know I didn't tell you enough, but I'm so proud of the...

Hi Dad,
I miss you so much and I see you in everything I do and everywhere I go. You were my rock and my pillow. Tomorrow's Friday and I would have been giving you your treatment... but I'm sure you don't miss the needles. Fridays will be hard for a while. I am so glad I got to spend those last hours with you to tell you how wonderful you have been and how much I love you. You taught me so much that I will pass on to my children. And as I told you before, you were the best dad.... you...

Granddaddy you will be missed by us all. I remember as a child that I would sit on your lap and you would always reach in your pocket a pull out a quarter to give to me! It was the highlight of my day. I will miss all the silly faces you would make to get a good laugh out of us. I will miss you very much. I love you, your granddaughter, Sonya!~

Doris, and to all the Pannell children I am so sorry you lost your love one. He was a soldier in this world. And now he is one in God's World. We will all miss him. But we will all have our memories of him. God be with you.
