To the Gibbenhuck Family,
Please accept my deepest condolences in the passing of Elsie. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. It was a pleasure to have known Elsie we shared alot of stories while she was living at ACRC (she knew both my Moms parents -Mary and Eliol Morgan from Seal Cove, CBS and also my Dad – Mike Breen from Kilbride) . Heaven has gained another Angel. RIP Elsie (aka Granny)
So sorry to hear of the passing of sweet Elsie. I worked with Elsie in Carbonear a long time ago. She always had more energy and enthusiasm than anyone those days. Always a kind word and a smile. No doubt she had a long happy life and always she spoke of her dear Sam and her children with pride. I had some very nice visits with her at Admirals Coast in CBS. God bless you all at this very sad time.

Elsie’s family, please accept my sincerest sympathies on the passing of dear Elsie. What a wonderful age. She was a neighbour to my parents at Admirals’ Coast and fellow card shark and friend to my late mother, Betty. She was a dear soul and she and I were friends on Facebook and kept in touch over the years. Thinking of you all in your grief.
