    Eldon has returned home and we will see you when our time comes to make that journey. We know that you are with family and friends and take comfort in knowing that. There was never a dull moment when Eldon was with us. When I remember Eldon I will always do so with a smile because he was that type of a brother and I will miss him.

    Eldie was a good man with a kind heart. He was a joker and teller of stories. He will be missed. God bless his family for the love and support they offered to him.

    Please accept my sincere condolences to the Thomas family. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Eldon. The Bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your many great memories help you find peace and comfort as you go through the coming days.
