Elzie was a very special cousin to us 5 girls. He always made us feel welcome even though he was older than we were. He will be missed by everyone.

Elzie was like a brother to me. We played cards on the picnic table in the backyard. He saved me from being drugged by my horse Cherokee when I stepped into a coiled rope. He helped my Mom Helen Belcher when she lived alone next door to him. I miss you already.
