I cannot say good-bye to Elsie because I still feel her in my heart.  There was nobody kinder or more thoughtful.  She loved to listen to my stories when I would update her with news regarding my grandchildren.  We became neighbors when I was only one year old.  We then became family.  She will always have such a special place in my heart.  I adore you Elsie.  You are now with Richard, Ava, Max, and of course the Finkels.  All of your dear friends, including my parents, are rejoicing to see you again.   I love you and always will.  Rest in peace beautiful Elsie❤️

One of many Happy Anniversary Celebrations

We write this with deepest sympathy to Elsie's beloved family. She loved you all so much.

Elsie was a genuinely kind person who showed grace by always seeing the best in everyone and helping them see the good in themselves.  She was deeply empathetic and spread hope and joy to all who knew her.  She gave without expecting anything in return.  Arnie and I are blessed to have had her in our lives.  We thought of her as our family and will forever think of her with love .

Love you forever.  Heaven has gained another angel. Xoxo rhonda

My Aunt Elsie was a most beloved person. Best friend of my mom, Harriet  and aunt to my sons, Alexander and David. Such a generous spirit who made simple things so memorable like her chocolate milk with ice cubes taken in her plaid thermos to the beach. Elsie always had the “good food “ in her house including Kit Kats in the hall closet for my sons when they visited and not to mention her matzoh pizza that she made them for Passover. Bless you Elsie. I hope you and Max are now hanging out with Harriet and Mel.

Throughout my life, my aunt embodied kindness and compassion . One example was her thoughtful yearly birthday cards to me as well as my children. That’s simple gesture just made you feel special. If you received one of her cards, you know what I mean. She just had a way about her. She made you feel special. Even though circumstances kept us away she was thought of often. I'm sad that I can not be there today. Xoxo

My dear friend Elsie, thank you for your friendship and all the special times we shared together as neighbors.  I enjoyed your beautiful life stories with Max and Blessed to have known you both. May you Rest in Peace. 🙏♥️🫂

Sending our heartfelt condolences to our beautiful friend Karen Gabay Leto and family. May your sweet Mother rest in peace, and may your cherished memories bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time. 
With our deepest sympathy, 
Pam & Tom Wilson
