I am still very shocked about this. Talk to her before she went into the hospital for her surgery. We were talking about getting a railing up for her husband. You will be missed!!

I remember Mrs. Elfman fondly from birthday parties at Elisha's house. Her love for her family was always evident. Mr. Elfman, Elisha, and Michelle: I am very sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Sylvia will be missed greatly! Although my family and I had only known her for 10 short years as neighbors she shared a lot while going to pick up her mail. The love she had for her family and fellow friends was inspiring. Till we meet again "Dear"!
