Auntie Elsie,
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, “Come to me”
Thanking God for your many years, Rest in Peace – Love you, (Family), The Stewart’s, George, Mary, George Jr., Doris, Tee Tee, Maurice.
Miss Else, May the Good Lord have mercy on your soul. May she Rest In Peace
To the entire Family:
At this time of sadness may all of you be comforted by the memories of happy times spent with her. The times of gatherings filled with love and laughter. We will truly miss her.
