We send our sincere condolences from Leven, Fife, Scotland .Elsie was a lovely friendly lady, her husband John and my husband John were full cousins and spent much of their young lives together. Both went through the ranks of the Boys Brigade together and it gave them good founding for their adult lives Young John and our son Glenn were always in our local park playing football before the family emigrated
We do hope as a family your many happy memories of your Mum will give you much comfort. X
Elsie & John and my parents, Eddie & Jean Sklair, we’re great friends for years. They had wonderful times together, especially on their cruises. The Sinclairs were like family to us, and Elsie was always so kind. We just loved her. She will be dearly missed, but we’re consoled by the thought that she is reunited with her beloved John. Until we meet again…. 💖
Elsie loved a good time and lots of laughs and we sure did laugh a lot. Elsie and John hung out with my parents Eddie and Jean Sklair for many years. Both my Dad and John were ex-navy men and so had lots in common and provided much amusement for Mum and Else. Please send my love to my Dad and John. You will be sorely missed. Much love to you and the family.
