I was searching for Elsie MacKenzie’s son David and daughter Nancy because I have some momentous that O wanted to give DAVID and NANCY. I was shocked to learn that David had passed away. I remember his mom’s and his kindness towards since 1960’s. I sadly lost contact with David due my ill health. I would love to connect with David’s family. With deepest condolences.
