Dear, dear Elmer,
What a pleasure and honor it was to meet you and spend time with you. I would have loved to have a trip with you and your fabulous and talented wife.
Your home and yard remain pictured in my minds eye. It couldn’t have been more delightful and inviting.
Being with the two of you was special in the most significant way because the love and respect and joy that were so evident in your relationship made marriage what it should be. I know that your memory will be cherished forever.
With affection and admiration for a life well lived,
Jackie Blank
