Thoughts of Elsie bring back lots of memories. She was my dear, long ago departed, Grandmother's (Genevieve Snyder (Struse) ) cousin. Remembering well those times of the past with fondness and knowing what a special person she was to so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of great sadness.
