I remember my dad Burt Sperling working with Mrs Elder and their family visiting us sometime. Very kind people. So sorry for your loss. Susan Sperling-Ferrell

Remembering days in Odessa, TX living 2 doors down from Bob Elder and family. Mark and I were the same age going through middle school and high school together. Today Mark is one of my best friends. There was always laughter and a playful spirit in the Elder house. Bob always had a way of making me comfortable while enjoying life each day. He raised a successful family, with each son or daughter finding their uniqueness in life-which is one of the ultimate goals of parenthood. Margie—we’ll never forget you and Bob as our neighbors. You raised a wonderful family and husband, too. Mark-you will always be able to count on me. Our friendship is everlasting. From my family in Austin, TX and my parents Jo and Kenneth Lunceford in Odessa, TX-we are thinking about all of you this week and on this day of celebration.
Sincerely,
Brent Lunceford

My deepest sympathy to the Elder family.
