When I was a little girl - maybe from 5 - 14 years old and beyond- Elsie worked for my mom's boarding house business. I pray she recalled that fondly. Regardless I remember Elsie very fondly. She took care of me too as well worked in the business. Her cooking was great. Her smile was beautiful. She came to my wedding when I was 25. My heart goes out to you all in your loss. She was a jewel. ~ Susan Harwood Green
I will always remember your sweet little voice saying "Hello" and the way you pronounced my name. I looked forward to our regular "girlfriend" conversations where we discussed the latest events in our lives. They were the BEST! May you rest in peace Aunt Elsie. My family feels so much smaller now.
Love you so much,
Rose

Ms Elsie was such a sweet soul. She lived her church and always had a kind word for her neighbors. I will truly miss my church member, neighbor, and dear friend. Shellawease Shaw Snead
