Sally Stone Relation to Deceased: Friend of Family I will always remember Elmer as one of the best dates I ever had. I was fortunate enough to have assisted Elmer in attending his grandchildren’s weddings a few summers ago. I was blessed to have had an opportunity to meet such a wonderful man. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips

Jo Natale Relation to Deceased: niece Uncle Elmer was a sweet and gentle man who never hurt a soul. He was always kind and generous to me and to my brother. I loved him for many reasons, but especially because my mom, his sister, loved him so. I remember the beautiful suits he wore, that I could always count on him to do my income taxes, how he would swim at the Y every day, all the pictures and movies he took of our family, and how proud he was of his sons and grandchildren.

Ann Wood Relation to Deceased: Friend I enjoyed spending Tuesday evenings at the VA with Elmer. He used to join us for ice cream and a movie.
