Sending our sympathy to your and your family.  I met Else at Hickory House while visiting my mom.  They shared a table in the dining room.  She was lovely.  May your memories comfort you in this difficult time.

Your Mom and your family will be greatly missed at Hickory House.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Your Mom was blessed with an ever so loving family.  She knew she was well loved.  Her famous response was "I know" and "I love them too".  She must have been the best Mom, Mother-n-law, and Grandma because you guys were all any parent or grandparent could ever want.  I hope you find comfort in knowing she is at peace. 
Thoughts, hugs, and prayers
