Elmer was a good neighbor and friend. Every morning he would greet me when I opened The Red Door Charity shop. He and his loyal dog would stop and say hello on their way to their morning ritual of walking around town. They would stop again on their way back too! Elmer and I both faced horrible flooding from last year's hurricane and we supported each other with words of encouragement for a week straight as we dragged out water heaters, furnaces and everything else that was ruined. It was devastating but he would keep telling me "the sun is out and things will get better"! Well, Elmer, the "Sun is out and things are better" for you now, too. No more suffering and feeling pain. God bless you, my friend. I will always remember you. Peace.
