I never got to meet Alva, but she was a client of ours for a very long time. I was amazed by her spirit and working with her made me smile.
My condolences to those who knew her better; she was a special person indeed if even a short interaction with her could touch one's life.
Regards,

Alva was always so cheery and smiled all the time. I called her my "party girl" because she was so active. She will be missed. My sympathy to her family.
