Dearest Nana, You will be missed...and glad that you are reunited with Grandpa after all these years. You were so special to him and raised two fantastic sons. I am with you in spirit and thanks for being so nice to us over the years. You helped make a difficult situation so much easier. Love and Prayers, Jeff

Elsie was one of the most wonderful person's I knew. Although due to my illnesses and death of my brother I lost touch with her thru the last years but she was like a second mother to me when I was young and I just found this by accident. Now all my aunts and uncles are in heaven. Rest in peace Elsie. I always loved you.

Elsie was such a kind and compassionate lady. For the years I knew her I can't recall an unkind word ever spoken. Her friends at Weinberg Campus miss her very much!!!
