What a joy to know Elsie. A true southerner. I am a high school classmate of Sabrehna's and she invited me to their house for supper. Instead of fried chicken I was told it was fried rabbit but it did sure tasted like chicken either way and so delicious. She always had a smile on her face and never seemed to have a care in the world. She will surely be missed. God speed Elsie. Rest in peace.
