I just learned of Elsie's death and wanted to send my condolences to her family. I so enjoyed Elsie's warmth and candor while serving with her on the Women's National Book Association. My thoughts and prayers to all those whose lives she touched.

Dear Rose-Ellen and Charles, My deepest sympathies to you both. Cousin Elsie will be missed by us all for sure. She was a kind and unique person. I will so miss our monthly chats on the phone. It's hard to believe she is gone, she always had so much to say and never a harsh word about anyone. A great voice was silenced. I guess the Lord needs her more or he wouldn't have taken her from us. Knowing she is no longer in pain is our only comfort. She will be greatly missed by us all and I know especially by you two. If I can be of any help please let me know. Sandra Martin Ramey

Dear Charles,

Even thought you’ve introduce Lisa and I to Elsie “Auntie” Prizio in a short prior of time, we will miss her dearly.

She became a big part of our lives and a big part when visiting you. It will not be the same driving up your driver way, pasting her house and not be able to stop by and see her.

We will miss her humor and open mind attitude about the world and different people.

Dear Charles, Rose and Family,

It was with a great sense of loss when we heard of Elsie's death.

We wanted to let you know that you have our greatest sympathy, and our hearts are truly saddened.

Elsie was more than just a wonderful woman; she was always so kind and considerate to us that we always welcomed seeing her in the garden or on our evening walks with the dog.

And we know that her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew her and our community.

Elsie will always remain within our hearts, and we have included all of you in our daily prayers.

May God give you strength.

If there is anything that we can do to help in anyway, please do not hesitate to call us at anytime. You can phone either of us even if its only to talk.

Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

With our deepest sympathy,
Ginger Schofield
