I knew your family when we attended grade school, and Irene was in my grade. I remember coming to your house and having some fun birthday parties, and I remember Robert dancing for us. Those were happy times and your mother always had such good food for us. I pray your happy memories will bring you peace and comfort in the days ahead. I am sorry to hear about your mother. Sincerely, Jeanette Nies Moore

Oh my goodness Elvira~ What are we going to do without you and your wonderfulness.
I am surely going to miss you, however I cherish the years we worked at Foster Freeze, and at the Oak St. Cafe for just a short time.
I can still hear you complaining about making Eric's double cheeseburger, extra cheese and pickels.... you would not have it anyother way, nor would you let anyone else do it! You were, and always will be the Queen!
I love you and your family~ 'till we meet again! I wonder if you will run into Eric!! probably eating a cheeseburger :)
Your friend~

You once told me " it nevers pays to get out of circulation".... I will NEVER forget that phrase! or you!
