God cares for the brokenhearted; Psalm 34:18 assures us that he is close to them. Psalm 147:3 says; "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds". Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you! (Psalm 36:7; 1 Peter 5:7)

A Tribute To momma Elsie The moment that I heard you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache the other died with you, I now lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep,and take a walk down memory lane,with tears upon my cheeks Remembering you is easy I do it every day, But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away.


momma Elsie meant so much to me she was a mentor I know she"s wearing many crowns for the love and compassion she had for others I"m so glad i had the chance to tell you thank you,you will forever be in my heart.

Ms Elsie will be truly missed, she was an inspiration to so many of us. She spoke the truth and taught us so much. She always made us laugh and it was a joy to be in her presence. She was so much to so many, and will always be remembered!!!

Thank you for all the years of love and wisdom and thank you BETHUNE family for sharing your mother with us all those years!!!

To the family of a Woman who loved the Lord with all of her heart. A woman that shared Jesus with everyone she met. One that was a joy to be around and one that was an inspiration as she shared her wisdom with you. I loved Ms. Elsie and I am thankful for the time that God has graced us with her presence here on earth. Be encouraged family and know that we shall be together again as we continue to serve the Lord!
