Dear Elliott family,
What a joy it is to have known your precious parents, Clyde and Eva! Eva was so dear to our mother, Dorothy Ballinger and our aunt, Margaret Robinson. Eva was such a beautiful LADY , inside and out. She had such tiny feet and was so sweet to share her worn shoes with us when we were very young. We enjoyed playing in those high heels so much! What a comfort it is to know that Eva is with our wonderful Lord and all is well. ‘…. till we meet at Jesus feet.’
