Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time in your lives. I am a cousin and I remember when we were both young. He was some what older then myself. I saw him at Wilbur’s birthday party last year. Just have faith and the Good Lord will give the strengh you need. My grandmother and Sophia were sisters. My grandmother was Ruby Alice Worden Welch. Sorry I cannot attend the services but will be thinking of you. Just heard about it today.
‘Uncle Ike’ was a wonderful man whom I have know for many years. I always enjoyed our visits and stories. Elton will be greatly missed by his Kansas and Oklahoma families and his many friends scattered around this world. ‘Well done good and faithful servant.’
