Elva, I still miss you -always will. I hear your voice , still, and brings back great memories and much comfort. Elvas hugs were instant comfort to me. I loved her dearly and can’t wait to reunite in heaven one day. 
To all the family - She was loved by me and Rhea more than you could ever know. Prayers and blessings to all of you in this time of  remembrance and Thanksgiving ! To God be the GLORY!

Laurie and Lisa,
   A wonderful celebration of life service for Mrs. Elva. I feel like I have lost a second mother, but only for a short time!  Loved her dearly!

Mrs. Lee was the epitome of a Christian lady,  as kind as anyone ever, generous, and a wonderful wife and mother.  



A friend and I visited Elva last summer. I gave her an afghan that I made. She loved it! She thanked me profusely. She kept hugging it and me over and over. We had a good time visiting that afternoon!

Grandmama was the best! I have many memories for a lifetime. One in particular is how “prepared” she always was. (This may have been the influence of Papa) She kept about six umbrellas and ponchos in her car at all times. She had rain barrels to help water her garden, and she used to keep a closet full of toothbrushes for when we would come over. Every time I spent the night over there I got to pick out a new toothbrush! We spent many days on their screened in porch and would swing on the green porch swing. That swing now hangs on my front porch and my kids enjoy it 30+ years later. I am very thankful for a Christ centered legacy that has influenced four generations. 

My heart is broken, but I am happy for Elva. She is with her Savior, her beloved Mendel, her parents, her grandchild, LeeBeth, and her sister, as well as many others she loved. 
  Im thankful for having met her 30 yrs ago in choir at FBC and the many yrs of fun and fellowship that we shared- making custom window treatments and anything you could make on a sewing machine!  She taught me so much about so many things. She was the one that pulled me aside one day and told me the Lord had shown her what my spiritual gifts were - and to always pay attention to The Holy Spirit’s leading in those areas. We attended many Bible Studies together and I loved chauffeuring her around to many places. Elva was FUN! 
  Laurie, Lisa and family, our hearts and prayers are with you as they have been for a very long time.  Praying for God’s presence and peace that passes all understanding. Keep trusting  in that Firm Foundation! We love you all. 
   This photo was about 20 yrs ago. We were together, at her house on Arrowwood, cooking for a surprise party for a special friend. I’ll always remember that day. We laughed sooo much and just had the best time together.  Yes. Elva was FUN! 

My heart is heavy for the loss of dear Elva. She was not just a special friend,  and neighbor for 16yrs, but I claimed her as my 2nd  mom. She lived her life for Jesus every day and that is what drew me so close to her. She was dearly missed when she could no longer live in her home and will be missed now, but I rejoice with her homecoming to be with Jesus  that she often told me, “I am ready to be with my Lord.”and see him face to face. I pray God’s comfort and strength in the days to come for Laurie, Lisa and the rest of the family.
In Christ Alone,
Kathy and Barry Smith
