Uncle Elwood, I am proud to be named after you, it says alot about how mom felt about you. I know your suffering is over and I know mom, Marie,aj and all the others were there to greet you home. I am gonna miss coming over to Lou's and spending time talking and watching westerns with you. I guess we won't be able to go fishing in the spring like we planned but maybe there's a good spot up there we can hit one day.There is so much I want to say but I will just save it and say it face to face when we meet again some day. We love you and we are gonna miss you bud. You're nephew and friend Scott Harris Henson Sr. And family.

I will always miss your smile PoP, you were always everyone's PoP. To call you Uncle Elwood never felt right. You were more than that. I will always remember bringing my hair cutting set over ,kidding you about your one hair and your laughter even if you didn't feel good. I think you just wanted to make me feel like I was funny or something. I will miss you and know you are celebrating with Marie, my Mom, A.J. And Uncle John. no more pain PoP. You will be missed....We love you
