   Uncle Elmo, you will be missed, Say hi to Dad.
   My fondest memories are on snow days you’d hook up the old car hoods to the tractor and pull all of us around town.
   Love, your Niece, Debbie

     Sorry for your loss, I remember when we were growing up and spending time at your house, Elmo would always have things for us kids to do to keep us occupied.
