Notes:
I never knew Elmer Sr; he died before we joined this family. Juanita was a lovely person, volunteering piano lessons for me on one occasion, though I have NO musical talent. She could be quite funny but could also be a very strict grandmother at times. I hated that she suffered from Alzheimer's Disease when she was at the end of her life.
