Elaine was a wonderful wife and mother and surely will be missed by all of you. Our thoughts are with you.
Although we never had the opportunity to meet her, her loving nature carries through in her children and grandchildren. She must be proud of each and every one of her family. It has been our pleasure to get to know some of her family and if the good nature visible in her family members is any indication of her character, she was a terrific person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
