Alma and Elmo were neighbors to us when growing up in Marion. Later when Connie came to live with them she and I played together a lot. Many memories and nice people.

Dear Connie and Family:
Marion has lost one more of their beloved resident. I know that this is a sad time for you but know that your mom is walking next to Elmo there in heaven. I would love to think that they are playing cards with my parents as they did when we were children. Alma has gone on to be with God and has now earned her wings.
Our prayers and thought are with you.

Connie, I just ask someone a couple of weeks ago how Alma was doing. I hadn't seen or heard from her since she came to my Mom or Dad's funeral some years ago. I think a lot of the times I spent at her house even before you lived there.
