Uncle Elmer, where to begin, you were always so kind and special to all of us. Many, many great memories of family gatherings every Sunday at you and aunt Sandra's or Grandpa and Grandma Colson's. What wonderful times your smile would bring. We miss you so deeply, but know you are watching over us always, with the other family members that met you at Heavens gate. What a joyous time that must of been!! Till we meet again........Love you!
