My mother was very kind and loving to me and my two brothers. She loved us three sons with all her heart and was always there for us just like our Dad was. My mom took me to the hospital when I had my tonsils taken out and checked me in and Daddy was there when I woke up. My mom stayed there overnight with me and checked me out the next day. That is what is called pure love. I will miss her till the day I die.

Our mother was the most loving and kind person anyone would ever meet. There was not a day that went by that I did not feel deeply loved by her. She didn't need to say it, I could see the love in her eyes. Elsa was always there for everyone. She never asked for anything and was a very private person. I did my very best to always make sure that she had everything she needed to make her life comfortable. I will never meet anyone in my life again that would ever come close to the pure love she generated by her presence. I was truly blessed to have her as my mother. Not a day goes by since her passing that I don't speak to her and ask her how she is doing and ask where she is and is she okay now. Her slow decline was torture to watch for us and for her. I know Elsa deserves the best that heaven can offer. Elsa led a very challenging life having live through the Great Depression in the 30's as a child. Then of course living through WWII in her beloved home land, Norway; under Nazi occupation for five grueling years. Then immigrating the U.S. with her family to start a better life. I don't think she ever really got over the fact that her family moved back to Norway after trying to live in the U.S.
She met and married our father, John, and stayed and was alone with no family network in this country for the rest of her life. They were a team and lived through good times and bad times together. Now it has been difficult for me to accept that she is gone and my caretaking duties are no longer needed. So I feel lost without her. I can't begin to describe how much I really do miss her and our conversations about life and her stories about her interesting experiences.
My beautiful mother is just not here in person. I do feel like she is here in spirit watching over us. A new angel in heaven. . .
Your grieving son,
