You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. She was a wonderful lady and watching her with her grandchildren you could see what an incredible Grandma she was. She will be missed. ~ Bruce Dunker & Family Box 142 Wall (7/27/2009)
Dear Ardie, Joe and all the Hindman Family. Our love and prayers are with you at this time. Sincerely Susan and Denny Walsh ~ Denny Walsh Miami, FL. (7/27/2009)
John, Clifford, Terry, Troy, Mark and Ardy, My deepest sympathy goes out to each and everyone of you. Be blessed that you had your mother for so many years. My sister, Diane, knew Elva better than I did. But when ever I would see her she would ask about Diane. I know today that your mom and dad are looking down upon all of you and saying we did fine, mighty fine. Gods Blessings, Jo ~ JoAnn [Eisenbraun] Hoffman 503 Elm Ave. #7 Brookings, S.D. 57006 (7/27/2009)
We will always remember Elva as one who made our stay in Wall so pleasant.
