Maw-Maw was an incredible woman. She was so full of life and love. She never missed a minute of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren's lives! She was always there cheering us on and making sure our homework got done each day. She only saw the good in people, and she was always willing to help anyone that asked for it. I will miss Maw-Maw terribly, but I have a new guardian angel watching over me. I hope I can live up to the standard she set as far as taking care of my family, cause she took wonderful care of us, and she did it with grace and effortlessness! I will always love you Maw-Maw!!

I only learned of Elvira's passing yesterday and thoughts of her flood my memory as the 10th anniversary of Katrina is here and that was the last time I had her as my neighbor. I was blessed to have had the time I did with her while she could tell me wonderful stories of her travels and her memories of Lakeview. My prayers are with her family. Love, Cathy the next door neighbor.
