"The most adorable person one could wish to meet. 
Knowing Elsa and her family was a great privilege"

I'll always cherish my visits with Aunt Elsa. She was a special soul and we were all blessed to have known her. I will miss her forever.

Having lost my own Mom my thoughts are with my cousins now as they go through this sad part of life's journey.
Though little time was spent with Aunt Elsa and Uncle Bob they made a lasting impression on myself and my brothers and sisters. My Dad Bill, now 95 has lost his big sister and from our family to yours the sadness does lessen though the lost loved one is forever in your heart.

Dear Andrea and Tom
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your lovely mother. I remember all the good times we had at your house as kids. Your mother was always so gracious and friendly to me, amidst what seemed sometimes like an utter chaos of active, gymnastic boys (and girl!) newborn kittens and other interesting activities. She always seemed so serene and present to us kids. I am sorry to hear she had Alzheimer's, My mother also died of this terrible disease just before Christmas. Like me, though, you can carry the memories of a beautiful, loving mother.
My sincerest sympathies,
Mary Beth Aspinall
PS. I regret not being able to attend the visitation or funeral. I have been very ill with pneumonia. Andrea, if you are ever back in Peterborough in the future, I would love to see you,

My sincere condolences to the Kinsman Family. Andrea & Tom, I never had the privilege of meeting your mom in person but yet I feel like had by the all the wonderful and amazing stories I've shared with Rick, Leslie, dear friends and the both of you. May you find comfort and peace in all those incredible moments. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

What a grand example for us all. I met Elsa many times over the years and was always enthralled by her quick wit, quiet charm and wonderful personality. I met all 4 of her children and they were all imbued with Mom's sparkle and mischieviousness. I know she was comforted by Tom being able to spend the last years with her.  Andrea and Tom, you were blessed to have had such a MOM. Goodbye to a truly gracious charming lady.

What a grand lady. I met her many times over the years and was thoroughly charmed by her humour, quick wit, and lovely personality.  I met all her 4 children and they were all inbued with Mom's sparkle and mischievousness. Tom and Andrea, you have much to be thankful for, having had such a wonderful MOM.  I know Elsa was comforted by Tom being able to spend the last years at home with her.  Goodbye to a most gracious lady.  Keith Russell, Saskatoon

This is a difficult time. There is no easy way to say goodbye to Elsa, my mother in law, who was so dearly loved in our family. 
 
Elsa spent her life loving and serving her children and family. She had a very nice sense of humor and had many jokes up her sleeve when least expected, as well, we will really miss her playing her favorite songs on the piano.
 
Elsa, had many fine qualities. She was a real lady, and as my daughter would say, Grandma was a very genuine and generous person who made sure to make people feel good.
 
Her time has gone and God decided that she needed to come home and be with the lord. Elsa, you'll always be in our hearts with loving and treasured memories of you.

Love Bill

Elsa
To a sweet elderly lady, I met a few years ago.
Only to wish I would have met before.
As she opened her arms to make me feel welcome
Like a mothers touch you never felt before.
Her sense of humour touched me so.
My thoughts go to the Kinsman family
As their saddened to see her go.
Rest in peace sweet lady,
As I will always remember
The times I had spent with you.

Your friend.

Rick Kinsman introduced me to his mother, Elsa, when I was 18 years old.  Our first meeting she wrapped her arms around me and her love and warmth just touched my soul.  I think that anyone that met Elsa probably had that same feeling.  There are not enough words to express the love I have for this lady, and what a lady she was.  I will miss her jokes.  She always made me laugh right till the end of her days.  Glad she went peacefully.  I will miss all those nights listening and jamming with the family in that special rec room.  She was an amazing woman and a great musician.  You will always be in my thoughts Elsa.  What a great mother in law.

My sincere sympathy to Tom and Andrea and all of Elsa's extended family and many friends. I was fortunate to have such a beautiful and special Aunt and cherish the times spent in her company.  Elsa was the true embodiment of subtle grace and elegance, and so very intelligent, witty, talented, intuitive, loving, compassionate and caring.  She touched so many along her life's journey and left no one unchanged.

On those rare nights when the biggest stars light up our skies, I will search for the one that sparkles and shines the brightest and send back a grateful nod of thanks for having known the delicate beauty and pure goodness of such a special soul as our Elsa.

Wishing the family peace and healing during this difficult time of saying goodbye.  Love to all of you.

Elsa was truly an amazing mother, wife, musician, comedian, always seeing the best in people and the funny side of situations. I know she will be fondly remembered but sadly missed. My thoughts are with you.
