    Dear Family Members, We wanted to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear mother. We were her neighbors on Forest View for many years before we moved. She was always such a pleasant, soft spoken, lovely person. My 3 sons probably drove her crazy since we lived right next door, but she always let them be a part of helping her in her yard. She will surely be missed. With deepest sympathy and prayers, The Canella family

    Carolyn and Betty, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your beloved mother and my great Aunt, Elva. One of my fondest memories of her is Feb. 1977. She and your Dad were passing through Columbia, SC and stopped for my wedding. Your Mom was the mock bride at my rehearsal. I don't know who giggled the most that night, her or your Dad. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Debbie Henderson Northcutt Hopkins SC
