Elva was like a Grandma to me because Elva reminded me of my Grandma Sanborn so much
I will miss Elva. She was a Christ loving lady who loved everyone. She always had a hug for me and 1 thing I remember most is when I battling cancer and she found out. She ministerd to me saying do not be afraid the Lord your God is by your side. You are now home Elva. Thank you for the hugs, and friendship. Peace be with your family.
Elva and I had many chats via telephone and we always stopped by for a visit when we visited Adams. We could not visit without bringing a hamburger with LOTS of onions! I always kept a look out for word search books but she told me not to buy any large print books. She said she could see fine and did not need any large print books. She had a great sense of humor. I send my deepest sympathy to Harold and Marilyn and family.
I took care of Elva years ago at Villa. I always loved listening to her stories. She was a joy. So sorry for your loss. She’ll always be remembered.
