"From the moment my son was born, Elsie was the ONLY ONE he would go to for any length of time, without crying. We bought a fixer upper and she would always take him, so we could get some work on the house done. We would have never been able to finish if it wasn?t for her. If she could help you she would go above and beyond any expectation. Going to miss her always grounded compass. ???"
