Mrs. Alexander will always be cherished by all who knew her. I had the honor of meeting and working with her while I was a resident of Imperial Plaza. My mother introduced me to her and I continued a friendship with Elsie after my mother, Annie Gray passed in July, 08. Much love to her family and God Bless, Alma Gray

To the Family;
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Please hold fast to God's promise at Revelation 21:4 which states "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." What a glorious day we have to look forward to. My sincere condolences go out to the family.

My sincere sympathy to Elsie's family. I was lucky enough to have taught with her at Clark Springs and found her to be a great source of inspiration to a new teacher. She touched so many lives and made such a difference in so many young children.
