My Wonderful Aunt Elva Brown!

I had the honor of eating lunch with my dear Great Aunt Elva today for her 94th Birthday!! I just love and admire this lady more then I can describe! She doesn't get out anymore, so I picked up lunch at our favorite Mexican Food Place, Matta's and we ate it together while talking for over 4 hours! I could have stayed all night! Just catching up, laughing, crying, hugging, eating, it was just heaven! She reminds me so much of my Gramma Tate I just cling to her! I vowed to go visit her each month and it will be my pleasure to do so....just love you Aunt Elva!

Just a little history on Aunt Elva, her husband was Bert Brown, THE original owner of Brown and Brown Chevy. Her and my gramma were close close sisters that talked on the phone daily probably their entire married lives. They used to live next to each other when my mom was growing up. Uncle Bert was a mission president, so we've had so many good conversations about missionaries too! She's amazing! A year or so ago she gave me one of her hard bound autobiography's and I just love reading it....someone that's been alive for 94 years has so many wonderful stories to share and great advice to give! Love her!!
