So sad to hear the sad news, Elva was my birth cousin and I will miss the many conversations by phone and visits we both shared.
It is over twenty years since we met and I have many happy memories I will always treasure.
Circumstances prevent me from joining you tomorrow ,but family and I will be viewing the Livestream service.

Aww what a shock to see that Elva Jessie has passed. I worked with Elva many years ago at the ILT Head Office and Elva had a great sense of humour. She always had sensible advice for us young ones, especially when it came to the Credit Union. Elva also taught me to knit & had the patience of a saint. We kept in touch over the years and she was very proud of her grandchildren. Our thoughts are with you Graeme & Jackie, Lynley & Romek & families. RIP Elva.

So sad to hear of Elva's passing. Its such a shock as she was so spritely and always on the ball. Elva was such a lovely lady and was always having a laugh. I will really miss our regular phone chats. She will be sorely missed by myself and many. Thoughts and love with her family at this sad time. RIP Elva x
