    Spread your wings and fly my dear sweet friend. You are now free to walk the streets of heaven with no pain. Your life was a shining star in so many lives. I love you so much and you will be with me forever. Someday we will meet again and we can "bargain shop" in heaven. Goodbye for now but never forgotten!

    Jacqi and family, I can't express the loss I feel on the passing of my dear sweet Elsie. She was so much more to me than a work client. I have learned so much from her and she will always be with me. The love and kindness she shared will never be forgotten. As you grieve her passing, remember she will live on in so many peoples lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
