Aunt Elsie, you will be greatly miss. Your brother, my dad, Pastor Delaware Moore, said that none of his siblings lived past the age of 68. Auntie you turned those numbers around and you reached 86. Rest in Heaven Auntie.

She was a joy. Continued blessings to you and your family. Linda Robinson Lee.
