Condolences for Elsie H. Kreb

  1. Upon returning from vacation I was sorry to hear that Elsie had went home to God. My prayers are with all of your family. I will most remember her for her faithfulness in coming to services and her memories which she shared as asked during some of our services. Such as in her opinion the dust bowl years were worse than the depression. Also she was pretty straight forward about dealing with hard times by accepting what happens and moving on.
