Aunt Elvia-you are an inspiration to us all. I loved listening to your stories of growing up, falling in love, getting married and living a hard but beautiful life! You took over the matriarch role of the Catron family when Grandma passed away and we all love you so much! Thank you for sowing into my life and my family. Jason, Caleb, Joshua, Daniel and Abigail loved you to the moon and back! I'll forever treasure my talks/emails with you over the years! I may be the only one I know that has emails from their 92 year old aunt! See you soon! Give Grandma a great big hug for me!
