Miss Elwilla's Daughters, Minnie and Doris became good friends with me when I visited@My Grandma Ora's in Naples Texas…We were all teens…Our families are well known to each other… They were two of sweetest girls I ever met in Naples outside of Family…When I visited them at their home, I realized where the "sweetness" began…It was from Miss Elwilla…I fell in love with her family…She was always so hospitable when I was around…Kind and laughing- Even with all her kids underfoot, she was still a "sweetie" and that's how I will always remember her…Her Love, Warmth and Kindness Overflowed…May She Rest in Paradise Amen
