Marilyn, Paul, David, John and your families... I was in London a couple of weeks ago insisting mom. I had the pleasure of running into Elsie in the lobby and we went up to mom's apartment and had a little visit together. It was great to see her as it had been a few years since We'd seen each other. I feel blessed to have had that last visit with Elsie then. Please accept our sincere condolences with her passing. She and AD were certainly a big part of our lives over the years! You're all in our thoughts as you celebrate Elsie's life. All the best. Kind regards, Pauline (Bertens) VanDerVelden & family
Our deepest condolences on the passing of your Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We know Elsie will be missed.
We will be forever grateful to have had the blessing of having Elsie live with us at Inspirit Residences for 12 years. She will be greatly missed especially in the art room where she created such beautiful works. She taught us how to live life fully and to pass away with peacefully assured that she would enjoy time in eternity with her Savior. Love Cathy and Ross Chapin
Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Elsie and Archie met so much to us. I was always inspired with Elsie's positive outlook and all her accomplishments. She always did so well at everything she touched. Her art was amazing. I will miss her cheerful and upbeat Christmas cards and the nice messages she would add to them. She was a beautiful lady in so many ways and she will be missed. I am so blessed that she shared a part of my life.
My Mum(Irene Hales) really enjoyed the visits that she and Elsie had both on the telephone and in person. She was a great friend to all and will be missed by many.
