I am sorry to hear of Elsie passing
and sad I can't attend her funeral as I am in Australia at this time. Elsie will be greatly missed by all her friends at Rowena. She was cheerful, funny and never complaining. However we can only be thankful that we had the privilege of knowing her and for you, her family, for such a long time. God be with you all. Very sincerely, Rona Crosbie
