Very sorry for the loss your Mom. I remember Elsie from my days as a child dropping into the store on Old Penny well road and through the times I met here at family events in her elder years. She was such a sweet lady.
May Elsie rest in peace in heaven.

Wayne and Mary. So sad and so sorry about the loss of your mom. I can’t remember a party or get together without her. She made those parties rock! Your mom was so much fun to be around. She was always interested in what was going in our lives. And she loved when the younger ones visited. Always took time to enjoy them. My two kids (Donovan and Carmen), now grown, still have fond memories when we would pop by for a visit. We will all miss her. Thank you for sharing her with us!
Love Sherry, Donovan & Carmen.
