Ms. Elsie was one of the most precious ladies that I had the privilege for whom I provided care, in my years at Life Bridges. She was always sweet, kind, and so compliant. She made me glad and happy when it was time to go to her home. It was not work, but a joy to assist Ms. Elsie. Actuallly, she assisted me in so many ways. I haven't had the privilege to work with her for awhile, but I am most sure that she will be terribly missed by those ladies that lived with her in her home.
