Jackie, Dr Elrod was our family (Buddy and Linda Love) doctor in Hazlehurst. I remember as a child he was the best doctor. I never was scared about going to the doctor because he always made me feel better…even shots were not that bad!!! And I remember the rings that he would give…always made everything better!!! I remember to this day because I have shared this with my girls…I had little bumps on my shoulders and he would call them “love bumps”…my last name was Love (Penny Love).
I am so sorry for your lose; I pray that God will give you peace and strength through the days ahead. Please know that you are in our prayers.

I would like to wish you my condolences on the lost of your loved one. He was my doctor when he was in practice here. I always thought the world of him and Mrs. Jackie. I always loved the sense of humor he had and his warm smile. He and Mrs. Jackie were so nice to bring me food when I had surgery in 2005. It was so good to see him at my door with that smile and pleasant things to say. I loved you Dr. Elrod and you will be missed by many.

Thanks for being my friend,
Gayle Ogilvie (Hazlehurst, GA)
