I liked Elsa a lot. She always seemed sharp and kept her independence by driving herself everywhere. I used to enjoy seeing her at the Christmas mass in Deep River when we would attend. She was liked very much by my wife and children. She will be missed at our family functions that she would attend. Our condolences.
