To Rosie and family - Just found out about your loss. I'm so sorry. I'll never forget the first time I met your mom, and when she found out I was Ollie Clark's daughter! It was old home week then. Well now Dad has a trombone player in his swing band. May she rest in peace, and may all of you treasure you fun memories of your 'Elva'.
