Being Elsie's aide this past year has truly been something special. We're told not to have favorites, however, Elsie and I had a very special bond. I cared for her as if she were my own family. I love and miss her so much😢❤️

Like many children, Christmas is a special memory. To me, Christmas was gathering at Aunt Elsie's house for good food, family, and love. She was so welcoming and her home was filled laughter.
