I'm a former employee at F.W. Houston SLC. It was my first facility I worked at as a CNA and I was so terrified of how I would be because I'm not a talkative person but for some reason, as I entered Elva's room I was calm and comfortable. And slowly her and I become such good friends that we were constantly making jokes at eachother. Every time I called her by her name she'd raise her voice and tell me to call her grandma. Every time I left her room I'd always tell her I loved her. She made me a better CNA , she gave me the confidence to be myself. I knew she had cancer, we had talked about it in the past. Well a couple months after that, my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer, I was so scared. I asked her so many questions and I told her what was happening and I gave her details and she comforted me. Even though I was supposed to be the one that comforted her, it was a 2 way street. We'd talk about our lives and share memories we've had. I loved her dearly, she was an amazing woman and even after I quit my job at that facility, I would always ask how she was doing. When I went to Florida, she kept joking about getting her A souvenir. So I looked for something special and I found a little bottle with a cork in it, with purple sand and seashells inside with a wooden platform on the bottom. I knew it was her favorite color and it was perfect and when I came back and gave it to her, her face lit up as she told me I didn't have to but I did, because this woman had given me more than I could of wished for. She gave me a bond that always made my day better.All I ask is that the souvenir is taken care of, I don't want it back I just want it to be handled with care. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss and her service was beautiful. She will be missed forever.
