I want to send you my sympathy at this sad time. My husband and I met your parents through the Pratts many years ago. Elsie was a strong person who dealt with her problems with MS, etc in a positive way. Lin and Ted will be there to welcome her to Heaven. I am sure she must have been devastated with their and Larry's deaths but at least Lin got to see her once before the brain tumour made it impossible for her to do so. Sincerely Mary
