To all of Elmer's family and friends, we extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one, Elmer. Elmer was one of the "good guys". He was easy to speak to; he was a great listener and conversationalist. He will be missed.

Our sympathy to Margaret and family. We always enjoyed our little visits before church. Due to another commitment we are unable to come to the funeral. We just saw the obituary in the paper this morning. Our hearts and prayers are with the family. 7/17/2010 9:30AM
