We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s death, Genora. She was such a beautiful lady. We wish we could make it to the funeral but it just isn’t possible this Friday. You, Arnold, and the kids will all be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all.
Genoa: Elna has left us but I have fond memories of her at the Palm Pavillon Tuesday lunches. She truly was a lovely person. We will miss her. Please accept my condolence.
My deepest sympathy to you Genora and all of your family. What a remarkable life to mourn and remember. Black River has lost another daughter. I heard through the grapevine just today. Peace to you all. Steve Mosbeck
You will be greatly missed and remembered Elna. I thank you and the family for all that you did to make me feel as part of your wonderful family. I thank you for creating a beautiful daughter who would one day become my wife and give me years of unconditional love and support until her day of passing. The experience of knowing you is a memorable one. Thank you for that blessing!
