Mike, my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother. Wishing you loving memories to forever hold in your heart and comfort for the days ahead. May her soul Rest in Peace. Laura
I was deeply saddened to read about the passing of Elsie. I met Elsie through The Crochet Club of London, and I considered her a friend as well a treasured member of the Club. I have many fond memories of sorting mountains of donated yarn with her! I shall miss her.
So sorry for your loss. Our deepest condolences at this time. We have lost a good neighbor.
Laurie, Mike and James we are saddened to hear of the passing of your Mom, our Aunt Elsie. She will be missed. We’re thinking of you all. Kerry, Brian, Sheila and family
Dear Strapp Family. Elsie was a long time member of The Crochet Club of London. She provided us with many lovely crocheted blankets right up to just a couple of months ago. We will all miss her as a member and friend.
The Mt. Zion community celebrates the life and mourns the death of Elise, an amazing person, who along with her husband Mark were strong members and supporters of our spiritual community. We join so many others in giving thanks for Elsie's presence in our lives and for the joy of knowing that her new adventure in eternity has begun, along with her loved ones and the souls of the ages.
My sincere condolences to the Strapp family, especially Mike, childhood/youth friend and long time neighbour. I will be praying for God’s peace and comforting power for all the family and friends that will much we her so. I also pray for an assurance of the Great reunion because of Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Steve (aka Zak) Isaac
Dear 'Strapp Kids', We are sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She recently contacted me to say that she had moved from her longtime home on Ridgewood Cres. Your Mom and Dad were wonderful neighbours to us in our first home. We have many fond memories of our time there. I will always remember your Mom's love of her gardens and the hub of activity that was your backyard. She, also, loved family time away at the cottage. It was a pretty good life and I hope that your memories will bring you comfort.
I had the pleasure of hearing Elsie's stories of her long beautiful life and upbringing on the farm in the past year or so. I enjoyed it very much. What a privilege it was to have her as GG to my Patrick, he loved going to GG's house and asked to go back for a visit quite often. Such a sweet soul, she will be missed very much ❤ Love, light, and condolences to all who are grieving ?
Dear Strapp Family; We the parents of Graham Robert add our condolences to all members of the Strapp family for the loss of dear Elsie. Our chances to get together with Elsie were infrequent but always very enjoyable. Kind regards at this difficult time. Beverley and Graham Bennett
Dear Mike, Crystal and the whole Strapp family. Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of dear Elsie. Although we didn’t know her well, we knew without a doubt just how important and endeared she was to the whole family. May she Rest In Peace with her beloved husband Mark.
