Ruth,
I just heard a few minutes ago about Elvin. I’m so sorry for your loss. He never said all that much, but I always admired the love that you and Elvin showed for each other every day.
I’m thinking of you and your family in this time and praying that God will be with you and comfort you.
Love,
John

Words simply cannot express how much we miss Grandad already…
