    " Bro. Elves was a man that I met a little less than a year ago at ECBC. Never once did I see the man not smile. He surely will be missed by all who knew him. May he rest now at the foot of the Father and wait to see us all again one day. "

    " I am so sorry to read of the death of Elvis. I will forever remember his kindness over the years. He was a very special person. In all the years that I knew him I never heard him say anything bad of anyone. He always had kind word of inspriration for those he came in contact with. To all the family I send my love and prayers. God be with you in this time of sorrow. "
