Roger, Sue and the whole family. My heart is with you all, along with Elza. All of you are in my prayers! I will miss Elza, she was always there to help Teri and I or just an ear to listen. Here is a story I just told a couple of weeks ago to a friend. While returning to work from lunch my cousin Candy and sister Teri all worked at the same place. Well I was speeding to get back on time and I got a ticket. I could not tell my Mom and Dad but I wanted someone to go with me to pay the ticket and show up at court. SO I call Elza. Since she lived right across the street from us I had her meet me on Moller Rd…LOL poor thing. But.. she said she would and she did!! She never told Mom and Dad either. I told them after I moved out and I was married. I will miss you Elza..GOD Bless you and take care of you and your family. My 3rd Grandmother…

Sorry to hear about your mom passing away. As much as we miss our friends and family that pass on, the pain ends and the eternal love and peace begin.

I’ll never forget the memories of the visits I had with my family when I was much younger to the Bridge’s home and when they visited us.
Ralph and Penny Hobson says
Elza, I heard you whisper that you were leaving and I didn’t heed your call. You have always been a part of our family every since we met in the 60’s. We loved you as if we were one. You were always there, helpful friend, a hard worker, good cook, a special person to call a loved one. I will miss you on going for the good times and sad times we shared. We will meet you again in Gods lovely home where we can again be neighbors.
Penny & Ralph
