With sympathy. I remember my day at the hardware store and how long ago was that? Elsie and Pat, always a part of our family gatherings, always there to share our special days or just because days, birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas's and many more.  They never said NO, they are resting now, may she rest in peace along side of her husband. Memory of the skies sheding tears that Tuesday...Delores

I remember with warm memories the get-togethers with Pat and Elsie, the Grey Cups, the singalongs with my mother playing the piano, Irish, English, Scottish songs, being sung in my parents home on Garden Ave in Toronto, and then in Nobleton, Ontario. The Smiths (myself, my wife Brigitte) and the Fords (my sister June, my brother-in-law, Doug, and all their children and family) express their sympathies to Elsie's family.

Valerie, So sorry about your mother's passing .Just got home and heard your message but too late to attend.Our deeperst condolences to you,Joan and family.We have fondest memories of wonderful times spent with your family at the cottage.Your mother loved it there and really enjoyed life .We will miss her a great deal,Jerry and Sheila

Auntie Elsie is the finest example of acceptance and dedication I have ever known. I will always be grateful for her love.

I will miss Auntie Elsie.  She was such a good example of a good wife, mother,grandmother and aunt.  I will miss her laugh and her wonderful sense of humor.

Sorry we can not be there for you at this sad time,She was so sweet, when we did see her. Joan, Dad, Andrea and David and the rest of family be strong and we will see you soon.Lots of love.

Elsie and Pat along with Janet and Bud Middleton and my parents, Evelyn and Bill Smith all came east from Minto or Brandon, Manitoba. Living close to one another in the G.T.A., they formed a group of friends that were as close as family.
This group of six along with other Westerners shared many important events together. My most vivid recollection is of the Grey Cup parties that the group held each year in one of their three homes. Preparations for Grey Cup day were elaborate and Elsie's contribution was always key to the success of these parties.
I hope they will all meet again to share stories of their lives, sing some of 'the old songs', play darts and root for the team from the West.

Such a grand lady and an absolute delight to be around, she will be sadly missed at our branch and it has been my pleasure to have known her over the years.  Condolences to her family who she treasured.
