  1. I came to know Elva through the Enola Commons where a friend (Irene Radabaugh) and I called bingo for the residents every Thursday night, Fall through Spring. What a sweet lady, she was. We always had time for a little chat each week. Dick she spoke so highly of you and your family and how much she enjoyed her time spent with you and all the grandkids. She talked highly of your Father and what a wonderful relationship they had, now they are together again and enjoying each others company. Dick you were very lucky to have such a kind and caring Mother all of these years and I know she is above and still looking down at you with a smile on her face. Fly high Alva and RIP, your friend Vicky
