Elmo & Norma

When Danny, Mary Beth, Garrett & I began to look for land in Bergman to build a home on 16 years ago, we met the infamous Elmo Dees.  We didn't know it then but he would become our guardian angel & the kids' other grampa.  Elmo was very generous & helpful & quite a character.  Oh the stories he could tell.....
To the day he died we were:
Bill (Danny), The Old Gal (Stacey), The Girl (Mary Beth), The Boy (Garrett)
These are titles we carry proudly & with love.
And I would always get the best history lessons of Bergman when I took him to town.   It was quite an adventure to get groceries with Elmo!  You better be able to catch & move that cart just right :)
Elmo at age 98 went to be with the Lord in October while I was with Sheree' & Garrett during her surgery & Danny was the only one able to go to his funeral - that was very hard for Garrett, Mary Beth & myself.
But we all agree we were very blessed to have this dear old friend in our life.
~Thanks for everything Elmo~
