I just wanted to say how much I will miss Elsie. She was the best! I loved her laugh! She always had a nice hug for me when I would see her. I loved her hospitality at the family picnics. How graceous she was to open her home to all of us to get together. The just don't mak'em like her anymore.
I know she is with Ruby now. Her only sister and of course the love of her life Bub and all the brothers. I know she can hear every word they say now and is probably telling them to quit yelling, she can hear them just fine.
I'm glad Herm and I stopped off to see her this past year. She wasn't sure she knew who we were but we knew who she was and it was nice to give her a hug again.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you Denny, Freddie and Bruce.

Denny,Fred,Bruce and families: My condolences on the passing of your Mom Elsie. I'll always remember her beautiful smile from the times in my youth, when I would come over for a visit.I don't think our family could have had better neighbors down in Adamstown, as we all worked together in one way or another.
May you have peace and comfort, knowing that she has now joined your Dad in their heavenly home, and they are both watching over all of you.
