We first heard about Elsie's death from Jana - then this morn we read the obituary in the newspaper You were blessed to have had her so long! She was among some of the first people we met when we came to Fay. in 1970 and we have so many wonderful memories of her. She didn't have a lazy bone in her body did she? Always involved in. your activities,Bill. I know you will miss her but you wlll see again someday in Heaven.
