Uncle Elmo will be sorely missed. It was always great having Elmo and Vivian attend the various family gatherings. You could always hear Elmo's booming voice and know he was there. He enjoyed his line dancing - and I wouldn't be surprised if he's giving the angels a few lessons. I miss you Uncle Elmo! Love, Patty (Boggs)
