Melva Elliott Obituary

Melva Elliott Went to heaven April 9, 2011, nine days after her 93rd birthday, April 1, 2011. Being a lifelong patriot Melva was proud of her family ties, going back to the Revolutionary War and was a member of the D.A.R. She also believed in the Constitution and was a member of the National Rifle Association and until recently an active member of the Republican Party. Family and how important they are was something she always stressed. She will be remembered by her family and friends as an active member of the community, caring (always willing to help), respectful of appearance, health, people and last but not least her love of books, music and dance. "Words mean something" she often said. As an avid reader she took this to heart asking "Where did that word come from and what does it mean." We love you. Your spirit is with us and you will always be remembered. God bless you and God bless America. Memorial Service will be private. If you would like to honor Melva's memory kindly send donations to the Pima County Republican Party or the National Rifle Assoc. Arrangements by BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, 6910 E. Broadway.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Dear Grandma,
This week has been to say the least difficult. Mom passed away and I can't even begin to express how painful her being gone is. Over the past 2 months Mom and I talked a lot though now it feels like not enough. I think you would be proud of both of us for we overcame so much in such a short period of time. We spoke of the state of this world and what we can do to change the direction this world is headed in. I looked forward to our talks as did she and I think she felt at peace with herself which allowed her to let go and finally be free. I miss you both so much and I don't think I have ever felt this a lone in my life for the people who meant the most to me are gone. I love you Grandma and if it so happens you get to see the one you love on the other side please give Mom a big hug and a kiss and let her know I hope to see her again some day.xoxo

Grandma,
It's been a difficult day for me. I feel so alone in this world sometimes it can be so overpowering I begin to feel lost and I don't understand why. I'm not confused in my conviction's nor do I feel compromised within my beliefs. I do feel Disregarded and abandoned. Cast aside by humanity and left to walk alone in this world. The only salvation I find is with in the unconditional love of Great Dane Ergo. I know without him I would not be here today. I love you Grandma and think about you all the time. I wish you were here. Love you, Kim

Grandma,
Today marks 2 years since I last heard the sound of your voice. I can't begin to tell you how much I miss talking with you. Hearing your stories, poems and creative thoughts was always meaningful as well as comforting. I really miss you Grandma and hope where ever you are you know how important your influence in my life has been and that you are my hero. May your soul R.I.P on this day. Know that not a day goes by where I don't think of you. " You Never Die As Long As You Are Remembered" and you are unforgettable. xoxo Kimberly

I searched today for you online and found some letters you wrote to the newspaper and was really touched when one of them opened by saying you had written this entry with your granddaughter in a school parking lot. You always included me in to everything you did and that gave me more then words could ever say. Love you Grandma you are always in my thoughts. xoxo Kimberly
