I am so sorry to read of Alva's passing. She was such sweet lady. Each Thursday morning, when she was still living at Atria, I looked forward to seeing her at our Bible Study. She was always engaged and happy to participate. Unfortunately, she had a lot of trouble hearing us, but she came every week. She loved Albert & her children very much. I was privileged to see the big pictures she had of Albert & Jesus in her room. After she moved to St. Ann's, I did not see her again, but did write her some notes to try to stay in touch. In fact, I was just thinking about Alva few days go, wondering how she was doing. Alva was a beautiful soul. I will remember her and cherish the memories from our Bible Study times.
