Elsye yenehet I will never forget the good times we had. I love you always and you will be missed for ever.

Dear Elsa,

It is hard for me to put into words the grief I feel at your loss. You were not just a best friend to Abaye but also a friend to us all. I miss our random talks about everything. You are so easy and fun to be with, I missed your visits as much as she did. I will miss hearing you guys laugh. Our family holidays will never be the same without you in them. So many memories of you come to mind right now and it is hard to put into words what you mean to us all but I hope you...

Elsie less than 24hrs after I saw u last I was told of the tragic accident, it was the most shocking and awful news that turned our lives upside down. You were part of our family, and a friend to each one of us. None of our family gatherings are going to be the same without your jokes and laughter. I am going to miss hearing about how u got lost going somewhere even when you have went to the place many times before, you and abaye’s diet plan which you guys never keep, how you go out of your...

Elsie,

The only thing which I still could not convince my mind is about your death.
You were so kind, generous,innocent with sense of humor.All those of your qualities are the living whispers which haunt my ears forever.

In Memory of You

Elsie 'someone special' is no one else but you.
Just because of all of the special things you do.
You were the one who opened my eyes,
And saw me... through all the lies.

Each time I was weak, you were there to help me,
To show me things, that before, I could not see.
All the times I needed you, you came and said you'd never leave.
You showed me special things, and taught me to believe.


I find an old...

When the spirit of death was knocking at the door, you called me and said “Let us spend the night together bidding farewell to the past, having fun, tossing wine and dreaming about the future”. Had I known it was the last time I was going to hear your voice, I would have ………………… . I can't sleep the nights. I am torn up inside out with too many “what ifs”. I regret for not to having been there for you.

It has been more than a month, and we still can't believe that Elsa is no longer around us. We always felt that she was our son's God Mother, she always bring him the best cloth, she checks on him constantly when he gets sick, they had a special bond. She used to save his voice on her voicemail till he leaves her a new one.
We have shared big & small moments,
We miss her delicious fish wot that she cooks with her clay pot for Ababa Fenthun every lent season.
she was the one...
