Allan, Laurie & Dianne, Blair & Mavis, Kevin & Sharon, Joan & Brent. My sincere sympathy on the passing of Elsie – a very special lady. I trust that each of you will have memories of Elsie that you will cherish. I will always remember Elsie for her yummy cornstach white pudding that she would have ready when I would stay over at their house and of course the glass coke bottle with the holes in the top that she would use to sprinkle water on the clothes before she ironed them. Take care – my thoughts are with you all. Sandra (Lutz) Hollinger
