Miss James was my kindergarten teacher in the late 1960s. I remember her fondly. My sympathies to her family and friends.

I am sorry to hear of Elaine passing. We were both members of Western New York Miniatures Enthusiasts. I moved to Florida in 2000 but still an Honorary member. She was a wonderful person.

Aunt Elaine was my Godmother. She and my mother were best friends. She was a beautiful, gracious lady. We enjoyed visiting with her and seeing her magnificent doll houses.
