elna

Last night we learned that a very sweet older sister in our ward passed away suddenly. Gosh, Elna was just sitting in church Sunday very happy and healthy! Anyway, I have been thinking about her all day. She was one of these people that was always positive, happy, sincere, humble, and going out of her way to encourage/cheer up people around her. Everybody loved her and she was a favorite of the youth and primary kids to "visit" -- Jared & his scout friends just visited and took cookies to her about a month ago. She was famous for her "notes" -- I betcha everybody in the ward at one time or another has received a card with a handwritten note of appreciation or wish for happiness from Elna. I will miss those notes and I will miss seeing her bright and smiling face sitting in the RS room when I teach. I am saddened at her passing, but at the same time I am so happy for her -- she has been a widow for quite a few years and has missed her husband very much. I'm sure they are having a VERY happy homecoming!
