Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I have known Elaine ever since my cousin Nancy married her son Jerry many years ago. She was always a constant at every family function – no matter what side of the family it was for…she helped wherever needed…and always with a smile on her face and a kind word. She always had a hug for everyone and was a joy to be around. Everyone should be so lucky as to have someone like her in their lives. Good Journeys Elaine. You were very loved here on Earth, and I’m sure you are enjoying yourself in Heaven now.
