Our condolences go out to the family of "Ms. Elvira". I will truly miss her smiling face, sitting there behind me in church, hitting me in the back of the head when she felt like it, and "getting her shout on". (I actually started thinking my name was "Old Crazy Boy"!) Well, she's definitely shouting now!!!

God took her soul, but left her spirit here with us. We're better off for knowing her.
