First i would like to send my deepest condolences to the family of Elsie.. To have to do this again this week after doing it last week is a very hard thing to do.. I am so sorry this has happened,. Elsie was the nicest person i have ever met in my life.. I did meet her through the group of Adult Survivors of sexual abuse. I at one time in my life would never ever say that. But Elsie made me beleave that it was ok an ppl should be talking out about things that shouldn't of ever happened,She was the strongest an most loving women i ever have known in my life. Her last words to me just the other morning were miss an love you to Wendy. Stay Strong... Well Elsie i will deeply miss not having you to chat to in the early morning online an tell you everything about Angel but i know that your now watching over me an will direct me down right path. i love you to the moon an back. RIP Elsie an mike together .. Prayers for the family an friends..

Merne Ann Burke Fitzgerald posted a condolence
Dear family, I was saddened to hear of Elsie's death, especially since you had recently lost your brother Mike. I want to share a little story, in hopes that it may make you smile, that took place when Elsie and I were six or seven and our families lived close to one another. Because of your families' ties to the French community, Elsie and I would hide behind the entrance door to your parents house and pretend we were speaking French. I am sorry I never got a chance to ask Elsie if she remembered this. She was a woman who suffered but who still was able to minister to her students and to those who shared her suffering. She made a difference.

I only knew Elsie thru my sister (Ann) at the Seadogs games. But when I came down to see a Moncton vs Saint John game I waited for Elsie to come in, we would have our little chat (and always a laugh) beside the sound booth. Coming down for a game will not be the same, she will be missed. My sympathies to the whole McGraw family at this unimaginable time of grief.

Penelope Miller posted a condolence
I have such lovely memories of Elsie. I started bringing my dogs to play with the others at the Dennis Morris center before my first child was born. Elsie was always delighted when I brought my children and dogs to the park and I was always hoping to see her vehicle with Chloe poking her head out the window. She made everyone around her so happy and she was such an amazingly kind and generous person. My thoughts go out to your family. She will truly be missed by my family. Elsie is one of those people who made me feel as though Randolph was a tight-knit community within a larger city, and I know she made so many others feel the same way.

Dear Shirley, Paul and Junior My deepest sympathy on your loss of Elsie and Michael and my regrets that I cannot pay my respects in person. I have pre-school memories of Elsie from when we lived upstairs over your family on St. David Street and later memories when my mother visited your mother and Grammy on Douglas Avenue. It is unfortunate that we see so little of another as time passes. My memories of Elsie are all positive and I am extremely appreciative of her trip to Fredericton to visit my mother in the hospital before she died. Stay strong and look after one another. Helen
