Jim and Elsie were such special friends to us and our children. They were our neighbors to the south. Elsie always loved us coming for coffee and a visit. I so appreciated the goodies she made for the kid. We have lost a beautiful friend. Rest in Peace, dear friend. My condolences and prayers to the family.
