Dear Riley family,

My heartfelt sadness over the loss of your mother,grandmother is palpable.

I enjoyed taking care of her property when I was landscaping, and have enjoyed being her friend as well.

I have great memories of having her up to my house in Ogunquit, and going shopping and out to lunch with her during her visits.

Elaine was a dear soul and I will miss her and remember her always.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Paula Stanton
