Although it’s been many years since Elza and I ran around together, I will always remember her zest for life, love of cooking, and her love for her son, Chris.  I remember those Saturdays when she’d want to run around to thrift shops and pour over their wares.  She was always the one who got the great deals! Always dressed to the nines, makeup and hair perfect, and always a smile on her face, even when she wasn’t feeling like smiling.  Fly high, Elza, fly high!!!!!
