Even the death of friends will inspire us as much as their lives…Their memories will be encrusted over with sublime and pleasing thoughts,as monuments of other men are overgrown with moss; for our friends have no place in the graveyard.
Maureen and I have known Eldon from the time we first came to Asheville. I never saw Eldon without a smile. He was a special person and deserved a special wife. That person is you, Cora.
Our prayers are with you.

Dear Cora and family, I just heard yesterday that Eldon has passed. Couldn’t believe it so I checked Groce and found this notice. I’m so shocked and sad for all of us who knew your beloved. God Bless You, Lynn & Michael Swann
The gypsy wind, it called your name,
No time to say good-bye.
You left us here alone, old friend,
To take your final ride.
The world it couldn’t tame your soul,
You lived your life with pride.
Now you soar free – like the eagle,
You’re on your final ride.
Your memory won’t fade, old friend,
We’ll hold you deep inside.
We’d come with you if, we only could,
Upon your final ride.
It’s time to say so long, old friend,
As you take your final ride.
We’ll keep you with us in our hearts,
If not riding by our side.
Hot Springs will never be the same.
Eldon will be very missed. Love to
Cora and the family.
Dearest Cora,
