Dearest Luella and Family, I will always remember that Eunice Kennedy Shriver passed nearly the same time as your sweet dear Elmer. They were both 88 and their Heavenly Birthdays are almost the same day as well, Elmer's being August 9th and Eunice's being August 11th. Plus, they entered the Gates of Heaven less than a month after America's beloved Walter Cronkite's passing. We will always remember the Summer of 2009. Love to all of you...Sincerely, Kristi
Dearest Luella and Family, Your Elmer was the sweetest man and best neighbor any one could ever have. He was Dad's best friend, along with Elmer's Dad, George. Elmer was very kind and considerate of Slim, as was Luella to Lola. Thank you so much for your children and for all of your friendship to us, your Lewis neighbors of good ol' Gove County! Love to you all. Sincerely, Kristi
