Eloise,
We just read of Elmo’s death on internet. We are in Tabor City as Interim. We want to express our love to you and the family in this time of sorrow. We regret that we are so many miles away or we would surely be in attendance at the memorial service. Know that we love you and will be praying for you.
We were Doc and Jeanette’s pastor in Hot Springs during the early 70’s. We just wanted to let the family know that they are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Eloise and Family,
You are dear to me. I wish I could say or do something to make the hours and minutes seem shorter at this time.
I love you.
If I can help at any time, I’m here for you.
Eloise,
We just saw Elmo’s death on the internet. Sorry we can’t be there. You are in our prayers!
