inny and Elsie were friends of my late mother, Lucile Abbott of Portland. They traveled together to Bible studies, visited in one another's homes when they lived in Portland. I was fond of both of them and was grateful for the friendship they had with my mother. I remember them both fondly.
My condolences to her family,
