Gladys, Pat, Sheila and family. I hope you all know how much you mean to me. I'll never forget how wonderful Mr. Styles was to me and the way he always made me feel welcome. I can still hear him saying to me after I slowly came up the driveway " Well, Scott......I've had breakfast, lunch, and am about to start on dinner by the time you got up my driveway. " He was so funny, full of compassion for people. I'll miss him. He had everything to be proud of. A long, healthy, hard working life, a great wife and family. Thank you Mr. Styles. Thank you Mrs. Styles, Pat, Sheila. Your friend always, David Scott Elliott.
