I had the pleasure of serving with Elsie at Knox's ESL program where for many years she welcomed our international students at the registration table. I've missed seeing her around as she aged. Her smile, laughter and care will be missed. God's peace rest with her loved ones as you grieve. God's comfort be with you as you cherish many memories of Elsie.

We were friends of Elsie at Knox, and enjoyed her company as choir members, and visiting her at the Annex. Many happy memories of our times together.

Elsie knew her Saviour Jesus well,and now is home in glory with Him and her loved ones in the Lord.
