My fondest memory of you, uncle Elvin, that I will forever cherish was giving me away to the love of my life. You were always happy for all of your family and just wanted the best for everyone. With an open heart you gave, you loved, you lived, you stepped up for fathers in our lives that were gone, and you are remembered. One of the best Uncles that anyone could ask for. My deepest condolences to your immediate family (and my family) as I know you are all hurting. God will heal your pain in time. Love, Tess
