Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Aunt Elsie will live in my heart forever. She made my childhood very special. She treated me like one of her own. Our family always looked forward to her heartfelt cards and the messages she wrote inside. I will always have the sweet memories of holidays made special because of her. She was a loving mother, sister, daughter, friend and special aunt to many. She witnessed for the Lord until the very end and I believe there are seeds planted by her that will flourish. May God Bless and comfort the family at this time of loss.
I loved you dearly. She was like a second mother. Many of my childhood memories are surrounded with my Auntie EM. Will miss her cards on holidays. Russell since he was small, would look for cards from her. I am thankful I have saved them to look back on. Words cannot describe our grief in the family, because we have lost our family jewel. Auntie EM, you will live in those whose lives you touched and through the ones you loved. This is one of my greatest loses in life. Always in my heart,
