Elsie, my life was forever changed by the blessing of having you in it. You taught me so many things that I will always cherish and never forget. My only regret is that It took so many years to become part of your life. Those awesome blue eyes and your contagious smile will remain in my heart forever.

Aunt Elsie,

Can't seem to think about you without seeing that big smile during the holiday meals and of course at the world famous "Riedl" family picnics. Hug Alma and Joe for me when you see them. Dad told me he had a job lined up working the pearly gates with St. Peter before he left this place so you might have seen him Saturday. Looking forward to the eternal family gatherings in heaven with lots of hugs and good eats!.
