    Aunt Elsie was such a beautiful light in so many people’s lives. Every time I saw her, even years between visits, she opened her arms and a listening ear. She will be missed by all the lives she touched. ❤️ You Aunt Elsie!

    It is our loss not to have known your parents for long. We were friends at Cokesbury and when we were together, we found them to be fine gentle folks who liked having a laugh and good time. Your mother's sweetness was evident despite the sorrow she felt missing her husband. We miss them both.
