Your mom always welcomed me at your house. Which was pretty often, to watch Patty play her flute like Jethro Tull. Elzina had a great sense of humor and I do remember her sweet and easy laugh. Life is so short, and I am grateful for your family’s friendship. May you find comfort and peace remembering her love for you all.
