Two years ago my brother, my son and I were at the Farmer's Picnic at Fermi Lab and had the wonderful experience of meeting a few tablefulls of Brummels. We had a good time talking to an older gentleman who might have been Elmer. In any case it was a rare treat for us to meet distant relatives. I just want to tell you my prayers are added to the bouquets wafting up to heaven--for Elmer and family, for all the rest of the family, and for the community.. My thanks for being a family who knows that Good Friday is not the end but the Door to Life. May he rest in peace.
