I have many fond memories of my aunt Elsie. She loved to laugh and would put up with the many practical jokes I would pull when the families were together. She had a big heart and reached out to others. Although she is now at peace in eternal life in Christ, part of her will always remain here through us, her sons and her grandchildren.
