Grandma Elsie was a beautiful person inside and out! She might have been my grandma but she felt much more like a 2nd mom! She had a way of always making all our family come together, thanks to her and the strong bonds she built our family will forever have each other and be left with the wonderful memories she created! I am sure going to miss her until we meet again ❤️ Love you Gma!
Our greatest memories of Elsie (we called her Sis) center on the unique bond, shared experiences and enduring love she shared with her family. Her sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren all treated her with respect and admiration. The frequent get togethers were always filled with big dinners, delicious foods, laughter, fun and camaraderie.
As a sister-in-law, Elsie welcomed me into the family over 51 years ago. I was instantly family to everyone. She was the only sister I had.
The memory of Sis will remain in our hearts forever.
I can't wait to see you again grandma, you always took such good care of this family! I promise to be a better person every day. I love you so much you will always hold a place close to my heart ❤️
