For me, my Aunt Elsie was a pillar of kindness when I was a shy little boy. It was many years ago; she had this way of making me feel secure and safe. You were an example of The Good in the world. May each of us remember to share The Good while we walk the Earth.

We only met Elsie a few times and she was a pleasure. Norm and Kathy kept us up to date and they always had lovely things to say about her. I am sure she will be missed.
Love, Dani and John
