Thinking of the entire Eller family and friends at this sad time. Thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Hey Thomas and Terry , so good to hear from you all i think about everyone and the fun times we had.
Do you happen to have Kristen address writing thank you notes she was so sweet and sent an arrangement.
I’m sorry this is so late…but I just came across the news of Robert’s death while trying to locate Jim JR.’s present location. I did not realize he was no longer living at Soldaris Senior Living until our annual Christmas letter to him was returned undelivered to us. I am so sorry about Robert….and know the last several months have been sad for the entire Eller family, but I know the Lord is with you all, and he is now with the Lord, and that’s a comfort to all of you. You have my deepest sympathies. Jim and are life-long friends…literally since infancy as I grew up on a farm at Tehuacana, just west of Mexia…our birthdays are just 17 days apart…we attended each others’ birthday parties…were roommates at A&M…were in each other’s weddings…and enjoyed lots of things together. But the last time I saw Jim was the summer of 2021 at Soldaris when I stopped by there for a visit. I would appreciate one of you letting me know where Jim is now and his mailing address and phone number. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you….
