Elbert was my Father too. I just found out Christmas 2020 that he was dead from a local cousin in Iowa. This obituary doesn't mention me. My siblings didn't have the decency to tell me he had passed almost 3 yrs ago. He was not a great father. He tossed me to the side. God doesn't care for a man like him.

I'm so sorry to hear of Elbert’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
