Well Elwood, you fought a courageous battle for 2 years before you succumbed to that dreaded disease. Your strength, determination, and resolve are admired by all who knew you. You will be dearly missed, but always in my thoughts and pleasant memories we shared. You are out of pain and in the Lord's hands now. Rest, my Brother.
