Aunt Sylvia, Bob, Don and Phyllis and families: we are saddened for you but also happy to learn of Elmer's passing to a wonderful pain free and peacefull new home. I'm so happy that I was able to get down to Grand Rapids a few weeks ago to see him.

Our hearts hold many "special memories" of him through the years of our lives. One of the most treasured is our last visit with him a few days ago when he held a constant smile. He truly had the "peace that passes all understanding." Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Our love,
