Dear Lloyd/Osaba Family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of Elva. I knew Elva a long time ago as a young girl when she dated my big brother, John, in high school. I looked up to Elva, as she was always so sweet and kind to me. I still have a Christmas charm that she bought me back then engraved with her name on it that I wear at Christmas time each year. May God grant you strength in dealing with the loss of Elva and peace in the memory of her. Warm regards,
Elva meant so very much to me , I hadn’t spoken with her for a long while but her beauty and spirit was something I always cherished and will continue to cherish the rest of my life. God bless her soul.
Dear Chuck, Louise and Family, Elva always was so positive and pleasant to be around. We used to see her often at the Print Shop and in recent years around town. You are in our Prayers and Thoughts for your Loss.
I wish to express my deepest condolences to Elva’s husband and children; to her brothers and sisters (Jim, Chuck, Ed, Mary Jean, Mary Lou and Joyce) and to all her many nieces and nephews. It’s been many a year since I’ve last seen her, but I vividly remember her jubilant personality and infectious laugh and smile. My prayers are with all if you.
So sorry for your loss. I will remember that Elva was always one to make you smile. Take care and God bless all of you. Carolyn Cesta

Condolences to the family in your hard time of loss.
I remember how much fun we had at sporting events when all our children attended Madonna High School and again much later when Elva was so helpful when we were planning our daughter’s wedding.
