Not sure what to say?

There was no one like Elsie. She had a huge heart and welcomed people into her life and her heart regularly. She was strong, kind and forever a giver to anyone who needed anything. The world is not nearly as sweet without her.

I do not know if this is the sherry dutko whos late brother was david, who I served with in the navy with hs-9 helicopter squadron. I would love to hear from you if it is and apologize if you ae not.

Sherry,
I thought your mother was terrific! She just loved you more than anything and wanted the best for you. No where else could I go and get grits in the morning for breakfast. Just knowing your family was a hoot! You were a wonderful daughter to her and no one could've done a better job at caring for her and sharing your life with her. Thanks so much for sharing her with me.

Sherry,
I know just how much you will miss your mother, she was also your best friend. Keep those happy memories close to you and she will forever be with you in your heart. She was a wonderful woman and I will never forget her smile and kind words, she made me feel as if I was her friend too. Call me. Geri

Els (my other Mom),
I will miss you very much. You helped fill that gap when my mom passed away years ago. You were a very warm, loving and caring person. I will also miss your great desserts and good cooking, I know that you are now at peace and at home with your Lord and husband and siblings.

Sherry, Frank, Jess, Nicki and Brandon,
I hope that it comforts you all that she is at peace and is looking down on you all smiling and watching over you all.
Hold on to...

Sherry, you had a wonderful Mom and you have loved her and cared for her well.

I can still picture the ball of fresh pie dough she kept in her refrigerator. She was always ready to make one of her great pies for family and friends. Elsie was a hard worker, a good hostess and an example of how to live a good life. Sherry, in many ways you are following in her footsteps.

I have an idea of what you're going through, and it's hard but it gets easier over time. Your...

Sherry and family. She is now at rest, you can be sure of that. Our thoughts and love are with you all. I have many memories of the warmth and love in your household as I was growing up. Your wonderful family always welcomed me. Thank you Mrs. Dutko, I will always remember you.
