I know I might be a little late but today as we went to sing at the assisted living Elmer's door was closed. Though I didn't know Brother Elmer but from us visiting on Sundays I found a Friend. He's with Jesus and family but he's missed here. Thank y'all for sharing him. Elmer's friend, Steve

Elmer was a neighbor and precious friend to my brother, Tom Allen. Im sure they are together now trying to see who can tell the biggest tale. They always checked on each other. My condolences and prayers for the family.
