Marianne and family

We were sorry to hear about Elmer's passing. He certainly gave it a fight. We have enjoyed many conversations over the years at the MacDonald reunion. We will be thinking of you with love and caring.

We are away in Michigan for the week end or we would be up. We will be listening for the bag pipes as Elmer is laid to rest.
