To Bruce, Jimmy and the entire Beckert Family. Our hearts are broken and so sad with the news of our dear friend's passing. Elise had been in our family for over 70 years and she and Mom were friends for over 78 years. Not many people can say that. Elise was a true matriarch of the family. We are so thankful we got to see her and Bruce recently. You were so lucky to have her so long. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Bruce, Jimmy and families...sorry to learn of the passing of your mom. I remember her so well from good old bus #13 driven by Herb Knapp on the East River Road. Also at the John Deere dealership next to St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in SNB. You had her for a very long time...much longer than most. We hope many fond memories provide the strength to face the difficult days and weeks ahead. With sympathy...
