    Good day to each of you. We were sad to hear about Elsie. She is joining her sisters and will be welcomed with love and open arms. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. We so enjoyed Elsie’s visits with Gramma(Annie) and remember with delight Billy’s haying crew of Annie, Elsie and Janie. Such fun we had that summer. Elsie will be missed. A hug to all. Take care.

  • Shirley Inget says:

    “Auntie Elsie” will be greatly missed. She was always such a great friend and support to my mom Anne. Their phone calls would go on for a very long time with a lot of laughter. I imagine they are still carrying on and have included their sister Ella. She will always be missed.

  • Verlyn Willson says:

    I want to send my condolences to all her family. The thing I remember most about Aunt Elsie is her laugh. She had such a great sense of humour and was so full of life.
