May 9, 2011
Elsie was a wonderful neighbor, we were just getting to know her and had helped her during the power outage during the storms that passed through our town. My husband helped her get her car out of her garage and three days later she brought us chocolate chip cookies. God took a wonderful Angel home, rest in Peace our friend,,,Rex and Rose Gregory,,, DuQuoin, Illinois
