James McElrath lit a candle

“Clare, LD, Lori, and Grandchildren, I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Joel meant so much to me. More than you know, he was in many ways a father to me, and the spiritual leader of the extended family. Even well into my adult life I trusted that he was there whenever I needed him. About 8 yrs ago, when I was in my 40's, I called him one night crying. I just needed to hear his voice. He provided a shoulder to cry on and counseled me. We were all so lucky to have him in our lives.”
