I am so sorry to hear this. She was truly an amazing woman. She encouraged me greatly as I started my small business. I met her on business related matters but we soon became friends- We ( Me and my mother) would sit and talk about everything. I loved her! She will be greatly missed!!

Eddie, there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: (Ecc. 3:1-8). He (God) has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God (Ecc. 3:11-13).

Debra,
I will always cherish my visits to Richmond, which always included stopping by to see your mom. Ms. Elsie was always kind and genuinely cared about me and whatever was happening in my life. Ms. Elsie will be missed and the trips to Richmond will not be the same.
I know the good Lord will continue to give you strength and guide you during this celebration of the many cherished times you had with your mom.
My prayers are with you, Sandra, Tonya, and entire family.
With love
