    I will miss seeing Elsie in Huntsville. I met her at a reception at Trinity United Church and knew right away we had a Newfoundland connection! I’d see her regularly at the church lunches or around town & we’d have a little chat. She would speak about growing up in the Change Islands and how she was looking forward to going back for a visit. What a dear sweet lady! Melvin & Beverley, I met you once when you were with her in Shoppers Drug Mart. My sincere sympathy.
