R. I. P. uncle Elvin. I remember the first time I met you. It was 1968. You and aunt Wilma had bought one of those shiny new Buick skylarks. It was red with a black vinyl roof. Y'all drove down to the Deep South on vacation to visit us in St. Elmo AL. It was the first time we met our cousins Leona,phyliss,and Vicent.

The deeper the valley the higher the mountain top, the heavier the burden the greater God's grace. Dad, with profound sadness I miss you, but I know that you are in His hands. Rest in peace...Lovingly, your oldest daughter, Leona
