Memories and Condolences
for Elsie Smith

Not sure what to say?





I am so sorry; I stopped in to visit Monday night, but to see all her pictures off the walls, and no one would tell me what had happened. She was my mothers best friend in her later life (Miss Bea) , and I came to love her, too. Well, now they can buddy around again! It seems all I have done this year is cry; so many losses. I know she loved all of you fiercely, and bragged on you all the time. I will remember her always.
