Elsie was the dearest best friend to me at Paris High School. I am so sorry I didn't get to visit with her last October when I was in Paris. God bless you all and may your hearts go on with her wonderful motherly love always sustaining you.

I just found out tonight about losing Elsie. I remember so well when we worked together at Dillon's grocery and our going over to Grandma Ruby's with you girls when you were little. It was so good when my Mom met your Uncle AJ and we became family. God Bless You and Keep You is my prayer. Love you all!

I am so blessed to have had the oppertunity to be a part of this families life. I grew up with all of her kids, and shared many days and nights at their home. Oh the laughs we had, even at some hard times, we laughed. I can set and think of things that I will always remember Elsie from, one being her biscuits..oh so good, then the Pepsi always a full glass of ice and half glass of pepsi. Pulled the car seat up farther than anyone I ever knew. Those are just a few , then the fact that she raised those kids alone after losing her husband at a young age. She was a great Mom , good friend, and always provided what they needed. She always welcomed with open arms. She was one of the smallest but yet stongest women I knew. Her health took alot out of her, but not her fight. She fought to be apart of those grandkids life as long as she could. I to will miss Elsie, and I just want to tell you Kim, Pam,and Kenny Bud how sorry I am, and that I pray that in the coming days, weeks, months and years that the memories will make it a little easier for you. God be with you all.

I was blessed to have had Elsie and her family in my life for many years.
I got to be a part of her raising her children, help celebrate the births of all her grandchildren, which was her pride and joy.
Knowing that she is no longer in pain and is with her heavenly family gives my heart comfort. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed until we are all together again.

Elsie and I were class mates and graduated from Paris High in 1962, She was cute as could be, tiny and very popular. I'm very sorry to learn of her death and surprised. I wasn't aware that she was ill. I'm sure she will be sorely missed by family and friends. Paula (Parker) Ceniceros
