Dear Bill, Troy, Renee and famalies, When growing up I did not spend many years in Kansas but always thought of Elaine as my big sister. Mom and I met her when she was in Waco and caught on like we were living next door. It was a wonderful visit. She and Mom (passed away December 16th)and our other family members are now with God and watching over all of us. Love to all of you Linda
So sorry to read about Elaine’s death. My sympathies to all the family, esp. brother Bill. My prayers are with all the family. Jody aka Elaine Ikenberry
TROY AND RENEE; YOUR MOTHER WAS A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING WHOM I CONSIDERED A FRIEND. I SPOKE WITH HER FAIRLY OFTEN BY PHONE, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS A FEW WEEKS BEFORE GOD TRANSFERRED HER SOUL AND SPIRIT TO JOIN HER HEAVENLY FAMILY.THOUGH SHE HAD TOLD ME SHE HAD BEEN GIVEN 6 MONTHS JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, HE CHOSE TO END HER SUFFERING BASED ON HIS TIMING. ON BEHALF OF MY ENTIRE FAMILY, I WANT TO OFFER SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO YOU.I TALKED TO ELAINE QUITE FREQUENTLY WHEN SHE WAS IN TEXAS AND I KNOW ALL ABOUT WHAT SHE WENT THROUGH WHILE SHE WAS THERE WITH MY BROTHER. I TRIED, AS YOU TRIED TO CONVINCE HER NOT TO GO, AND TO COME ON BACK HOME DURING THE TIME SHE WAS THERE…TO NO AVAIL. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW SORRY I AM FOR WHAT TRANSPIRED. ONCE SHE CAME HOME I FELT YOU ALL WOULD NOT APPRECIATE CONTACT FROM ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH JAMES, SO I STAYED AWAY AND ONLY COMMUNICATED WITH YOUR MOM BY PHONE. MY HEART HURTS FOR HER.I WILL MISS HER; SHE WAS MY FRIEND. I KNOW WHEN SHE ARRIVED ON THE OTHER SIDE SHE GREETED HER HEAVENLY FAMILY WITH A \’HI THERE\’, AS SHE WOULD ALWAYS SAY. HEAVEN HAS GAINED ANOTHER ANGEL NAMED ELAINE MARIE MARTIN-NEDBALEK.GOD BLESS YOU.

Mom you are the light of my life and I miss you terribly. I hope you are now happy and have been rejoined with loved ones. Your life and memory will be kept alive through me and all that loved you. I love you Mom.
Troy, Renee, Bill and family: I was so sad to hear about Elaine. She fought a good fight for the last few years. I have been thinking about all the good times spent with her, like the week at the dude ranch. She was a special person and will always be loved.
Renee, Troy, and families, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She and your dad were always like 2nd parents to me growing up. I think I was in your house just as much, if not more, than I was in my own at times! GREAT memories of both of your parents and all the fun times we had! I can still hear your mom laugh and see her huge smile! 🙂 My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time!! (((HUGS))) Janette, Chris, Logan & Caleb Dillon
