Nan Wood Hall wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Elvin "Button" Rooks Jr., he was one of my favorite first cousins. He was quite a bit younger than me. I lived a long way away, so I didn't know him well when he was growing up. But later, after he was grown, I would see him when I visited his Mother, my Aunt Becky. I also met his lovely daughter, Kelsey at that time. I was always impressed by how smart and funny he was. He was always telling jokes, so much like his uncle and my dad, Troy Wood. . With deepest sympathies.”
