Sleep overs, dinners, drinking tea from the saucer, rocking on the sofa to our favorite songs, bunk beds, bacon and eggs on Saturday mornings, “Down Around, VOCM, CHCM, Cigarette, Bimmy, Out Tonight”, the Harbour Island Song. These are just a few of the many wonderful memories I have of time spent in my second home at 19 McKendrick St., Placentia. Art and Elsie O’Keefe, affectionately known to me as Poppy and Nanny Art were home to me. That house and the wonderful people residing there my family. Nanny Art (Elsie) would jump up and rush to me with open arms every time I walked through the door. She made me feel like I was the most important person in the world to her. She listened, she cared. We laughed and cried together. Her love of family was unprecedented. You could immediately see just how proud she was of her children, grandchildren and great-grandbabies when you opened the door. She couldn’t wait to show you their most recent pictures that she so very proudly displayed on every wall! Elsie O’Keefe was a friend to anyone who crossed her doorway. She was most certainly a friend of my family, every one of us. I thank you for that Nanny Art. Your influence on me was due to your kindness and unassuming earnestness.....and of course, the best Saturday morning bacon and eggs! I love you Nanny Art. Rest easy in the arms of the angels, until we meet again.

My dear Uncle Art, Michelle, Yvonne, Shawn, Juanita, Scott and your families, I am so sad at the passing of Aunt Elsie. She was one of the kindest, most loving people you could ever met. I was blessed to have her in my life. One of my fondest memories are the nicknames she gave people. Like her memory, they will live on forever. I hope you take comfort in knowing that she is at peace and surrounded with her family and friends who have gone before her. It gives me comfort knowing she's with Sneck and will watch over her for Mom and Dad, as she did so many times over the years. They are having a cup of tea and listening to music, something they both loved so much. I can't be there in person, but I will be there in my heart. Take care of Uncle Art and give him a big hug for me. Hold onto the memories you have, and Aunt Elsie will always be close in your heart. She loved you all very much! As I close, I would like to say what Aunt Elsie would always say as she was leaving your company...... Goodbye old friend! I'll hear from you again! Love always, Tammy & Boys xoxoxoxo
