To Elaine’s Family,
We send our sympathy to you all. Elaine was such a lovely lady. Helped us when we lost our Grand-daughters in a car crash in 2010.
We have been friends in S.C. when all of us “Snowbirds” meet and have fun in the winter. Met her 5 yrs ago in the sunny south and enjoyed her company very much.
We will see Barbara this winter, she will be lost without Elaine.
Forever remembered, Keep her in your hearts, Jennie and John.
