Daryl and family - so shocked to learn of Elma's passing. She was loved dearly by so many of us, and her message touched the lives of many, many people. She has left a legacy of knowing your value - that $20 bill that doesn't loose its worth no matter what condition it is in. She will be remembered by so many who heard her message of resiliency. Thinking of you all. Love to Elma!!!

Devastated to lose dear Elma from afar... She was an AMAZING woman, with the biggest heart--she and Daryl's special strong unconditional love touched me and so many others. I'm proud to count her as dear friend, confidante, mentor and second mother. I find comfort in believing she is still with us, amongst the fairies in the garden and all around, encouraging us all to live loudly into our dreams.
