I am sad to hear of Elmer's passing. We attended Penn State together. I always admired him. WE were often Lab Partners. He was a really smart guy. Sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for the suffering that he endured.
My heart goes out to you as you grieve the loss of Maurice. We never know what cross that God will ask us to carry. May your cross get lighter with each passing day. May his soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace Amen.
