I met Elva in 1976 and believe her to be the one of the most loving, caring and optimistic souls I have ever encountered. It was a joy and honor to know her.

Loved that lady, she was an inspiration. We always enjoyed her birthday cakes for Jesus's Birthday every year at the Methodist Church. Last year at her Birthday party, I told her my name .... she said "What, you didn't think I would remember?" Put me in my place for sure. We will miss you Elva.
