Uncle Elvin,
Thanks so much for the wonderful memories that you gave to my family and me. My favorite place to visit growing up was at Grandma Gill's. I enjoyed the happy times with you, Wayne, and Grandma as well as my many aunts, uncles, and cousins that came to visit. I also enjoyed the joy that you brought to my children as they grew up with you, Grandma, and Wayne. We loved it when you all came to the birthday parties of the children and we enjoyed many good meals together. We love you and miss you and will always remember the happy times together. Love You Always, God bless all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We so regret that we were not able to be there with you all. We will be with you all in our thoughts during the service. Many wonderful memories fill my mind of Uncle Elvin. He was always so excited to see us when we came to visit each summer. I am thankful his suffering in this life is over. I rejoice that he is with our Lord, as well as Mom Gill, Grandaddy, Wayne, and others that we all loved. His memory will live on in our hearts. Know that we love all of you and are so proud to be a part of this wonderful family.
Love, Sandra Baggett
