WE ARE SO SORRY TO HEAR OF ELTON'S PASSING IN NOVEMBER. WE JUST HEARD ABOUT IT. LIZ AND ELTON WERE FRIENDS FROM SOUTH AVONDALE BAPTIST AT A YOUNG AGE UNTIL NOW. HIS HUMOR AND WITS WERE INCREDIBLE.

OUR PRAYERS GO UP FOR THE FAMILY AND PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING AT THIS TIME OF GRIEF. HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED BY ALL, HOWEVER BEING HEAVEN'S GAIN! IN CHRIST, LIZ & BUBBA HOLLAND
