Sandy - Please accept my condolences. I was saddened upon hearing of your mother's passing. Sandy, you were a perfect, loving, supportive daughter. A mother couldn't have asked for more. I know you were with her when she peacefully left our world during her afternoon nap. I am sure you will remember the many happy times you had together. She is at peace, with no pain or anxiety, and is now in our Lord's home where she has long last joined your dad. Sister Hugs, JoAnn Stewart

From my earliest childhood, Elsie and Roger were newlyweds, neighbors and dear friends of my own young parents. Over a lifetime her friendship and love were a cherished gift to all our family, now to be eternally held in our hearts with tender gratitude for her sweet presence. My prayer and love are with you Sandy.
