    Heather, Jean, Andy, and Family…
    Wishing you all the best at this difficult time. Mom told us of Aunt Elsie’s passing and we are truly sad to hear the news. Our heartfelt sympathies to everyone. I will always remember the gatherings at the homestead when the instruments came out around the campfire with Aunt Elsie on the accordion and Dad on the guitar and lots and lots of singing. A wonderful lady and very generous. We shall all miss her very much. May she rest in peace. Love Brad, Sharon and family. xo

    Sincere sympathy to Jean , Heather and Andrew and families as you say “Good bye” to your lovely Mother and Gran. Long ago Elsie and I were young Mothers together as neighbours, and friends. Elsie had two little girls and I had two little boys. We ‘baby sat’ each others children and shared our experiences. I too am sad and will remember her the rest of my life. My deepest Condolances to all the Family.
