My memories of big El would be too long and too many and too wonderful. They make me smile and laugh. I am thankful my dear friend. Betsy brought him into my life.

Nancy and I grew up with Elliott and loved him and Betsy like family. Today we talked to Betsy about our fondest memories and enjoyed every minute just as if we were still together. There is no finer couple to share life.
