Pat and Bob, I'm so sorry to learn of Aunt Elise's passing. Her only brother (my Dad) frequently referred to her as the baby of all his sisters, and it's fitting that she should be the last to go. What a sweet, caring, beautiful woman she was, and I know how you'll always miss her. You both are in my thoughts and prayers, and I ask God to be with you.
Love, Judy See Painter

Pat and Bob,remembering your mom from way back and her place in our family. It's hard to realize that she was the remaining family member of her generation. Please know that I am aware of you and yours as you make an adjustment to her death. When Elise's sister(my mom) died,I felt fine but had a need to sort out the reality in my daily routine:as you do over the next days,please know that you are remembered. Love,Ann
