Elaine and Family,
I noticed the obituary, and couldn't help but remember all of the wonderful times we had your home, Elaine. Your mother was always so nice to us during our trying teen years. I will keep you and your family in my prayers...I understand what you must be going through...my Dad just passed away suddenly three weeks ago. God Bless all of you.
