Elva was a very good friend! She didn't know a stranger. If she didn't know someone, it wasn't long before she did!! Elva never let anyone sit by themselves, she would go join them.
She' was always there for you. No matter how busy she was that day. (She had the energy of five people!)I remember one night some students were moving out and told us we could have all their furniture that they were getting rid of. It was a little after 10:00 p.m. . I called Elva and asked her what she was doing. She said she was just starting to unwind, sitting down to watch the news. I asked her if she wanted to come help me collect items for the international giveaway. She said she would be right there, and she was!! That was the kind-hearted, giving person she was.
Elva's first and foremost love was her love for our Lord Jesus Christ!! And she wanted to share that love with everyone around her! If you did not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, she was one of the first ones to take you to the Bible and to show you how you too could know that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. And that there's no other way to Heaven but through him!!! Elva is with the Lord Jesus Christ now, hearing well done my good and faithful servant.
I will miss my dear friend Elva. But look forward to seeing her again one day when the Lord calls me home.
