I have come very close to Elsie the last couple of years. I live in the independent living at George Place where she was a resident in the assistant living. I played alot of Eucre and Bingo with Al and Elsie. She was a special lady and I will l miss her smile tremendously. She was a real trooper and always "I am ok" right down to the very end. I love you Elsie and will see you soon. I am praying for the family in there loss, you are special also.
