Miss Elsie, I remember the first day I worked with you...it was January 9,2013. For me, that was the beginning of our wonderful friendship. We just clicked and from that moment on I just knew my working with you would be a blessed experience...and it truly was. I could not have asked for a better client. You were a kind and loving woman, filled with faith and grace.
I will remember you always as well as Miss Meryl and Miss Jean. Everyone made me feel like part of your family and I will never forget all of you.
Miss Elsie, I know that you are at peace with Jesus Christ ou Savior and Redeemer.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me. Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Rest in peace and may God Bless You.

Your Visiting Angel,

Debbie Vinturella

I will miss sending you the annual family update at Christmas each year. I think of you each time I pass your house on Lakewood Drive. I will fondly think of you this spring when the lilac azaleas bloom. Though far away since you moved to LA; you have always remained close in memory and heart. Thank you for all the happy memories you have left the kids and I.
Wendy, John Sherwood and Barbara
