This is a great man who is now in a great place with his wonderful wife Olly - who I am sure has been waiting for him. Most likely he is smiling and singing. I remember him well and I know he is in heaven and happy. Best thoughts and wishes to his family. He was a true blessing here on earth . . .

Darlene and family,

We extend our sincere sympathy to you all at this time. We remember Elwin (aka Poppie Gordon)
fondly throughout the years we have known him. He stood as a man of God and one that loved his family deeply. He will be missed. We pray that our God of all comfort will be Himself to you.
