“I was so sad to hear of Elsa's passing. She was such a wonderful person and a true inspiration to those who knew her. We have missed seeing her in yoga class, and will continue to miss her. We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity to get to know her. I wish your family peace today and in the coming days ahead. In sympathy and with warm regards, Sharon Charles and our yoga class”
