I send my prayers and sympathy for all of the family of Tom Elsner. We are cousins, part of a very large family of 52 cousins. Although we have not seen each other for years, my family visited his family in Seymour when we were both children. I am so sorry for his death at such an early age. May his memory remain a blessing for all who knew and loved him. Katherine Elsner
