Dear Ron:
Great sadness. I was late in learning of Elva's passing away. We had a lot of good times and fond memories.
Had a hard time getting in touch with you.
Love to all. My deepest sympathy.

Ron and Frankie,

I was so saddened to read this.
Elva and I worked together at Singer back in the 60's then lost touch. We ran into each other about 10 years later.

I'll never forget how truly gracious she was the night I had fixed my first "company" dinner in our new house in Sandy, and Elva found a worm in her salad. She just picked it out and kept eating. That, to me showed real class.

While I left Utah about 25 years ago, I've still thought of you guys often.
