Dearest Elva, You are so dear to me. Always made me smile or laugh even on my worst days. Your love of your favorite Chinese dish still cracks me up thinking of the first time you told me you like Ooo Goo Gai Pan. I can't forget how you and Trish stayed with me the day the Marines came to tell me my son was killed in Iraq. You and Trish held me through the losses of both Dale Sr and Jr. When I first came to Harford Lanes 20 years ago, you, Trish and Connie Marshall welcomed me as if I was family. I will never forget your love and kindness. Rest in peace now Elva. You will always be in my heart.

May you Rest in Peace Elva. You were such a happy person. Never saw you when you weren't smiling, bowling or dancing. Boy did you love to dance. We could always count on you to bring out the camera for any function Harford Lanes had, I bet you could fill many albums. You are now with all your bowling buddies and loves. so don't cause to much havoc up there in heaven. :) You will be missed greatly. Love you...

Such a caring soul. It won’t be the same going to work and not seeing your face at my window to tell me hi. I will miss your smiling face and your way with words, you’ll always be my Aunt Elva even though we were born in the same generation. I can’t imagine the joy you’re having right now in heaven with all the family. We miss you, till we meet again.💔
