Don't know where to start...I will always have such fond memories of Aunt Elsie. She was always such a loving, positive person. I was a flower girl in Uncle Bob & Aunt Elsie's wedding many years ago and they both have been a positive influence in my life ever since. Love, Karen

She was my second mom. I spent so much time at the house and she treated me like another child -- yelling at me at times and laughing with me, too. Such generousity and a love of life. Funny. Smart. A great mom and, I'm sure, a great wife. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family because you lost a great lady. Someone I will miss but keep in my heart for always.
