To Elisabeth’s family sending sincere sympathy, thoughts and prayers. She was always very friendly and kind to my parents, Fred & Betty Tilley at Seaforth Manor. She had a cheery greeting for us in the dining room just a few days ago so I was quite shocked to hear this sad news. May your memories bring comfort and peace.
