She was a great game player. We would play tick-tack-toe, dot to dot, Chinese checkers, and dominos she won most of the time but it was always enjoyable. I remember being so excited when I would learn different signs to communicate with her, and she was so patient trying to figure out what I was saying. She had the best love to offer to her family. I love her!
So sorry for your loss; Gene (Elza’s Nephew) and Leda Benge and Chris Benge
