AN APPRECIATION MESSAGE FROM THE ADDISON FAMILY:

The Family of the late Mrs. Elsie Addison wishes to express our appreciation for all the love shown to us and "Our" mother during her illness and transition. We are grateful and humbled by every visit; prayer, song, call; card; flowers; money spent and forwarded during this most difficult time. We would also like to thank the Medical and Hospice staff of Roper Hospital for their professionalism, attentiveness and compassion. We thank God for giving us a mother that embodied all the qualities that define that most precious and awesome responsibility: Generosity, Patience, Compassion, Understanding, Sacrifice, Love, Faith in God and ensuring that we shared that same faith. We also thank God for enriching our lives with family and friends such as you.

Thank you and God Bless,

The Addison Family
