Dear Walter & Family, I was so sorry to see Elsie's funeral card when in town after the funeral was over. My heart felt sympathy goes out to all of you and to all who knew and loved her. I recall the early years when our children were in school & we had & took time to visit together once in awhile. She was always such a sweet lady.

Elsie's memories are now special treasures to be held by the families .
