Eddie and Elida Cruz - Rowlett, Texas:  Elsie will be missed by our family. We will miss the cards she sent us and the chats on the phone. We know it is a great loss to her family. Our deepest sympathies to our dearest friend Marian and her family. We pray for God's strength and comfort during this difficult time. 

Norma and Conner McGrath - Garland, Texas: Dear Endo Family,    I have lots of beautiful cards and presents from Elsie. She knew I liked purple and when I had my Bone Morrow Transplant in 1995, she sent me a beautiful Japanese silk scarf that I will always treasure. A few years ago she sent me a beautiful purple crocheted cross that I have in my Bible. She was a very generous and giving person and though I never got a chance to meet her. I have been blessed to know and be loved by her wonderful sister, my dear Auntie Marian. And through her I have gotten a little piece of dear Elsie to always remember her loving, giving heart. Conner and I will continue to lift you to our Heavenly Father as He is the only source of peace and strength. May He hold you and comfort you as your hearts are breaking in the loss of your precious sister and daughter. We love you all and will keep on praying.
