Mrs.C.Elaine Greek was so kindly for foreigners like me.I met her 30 years ago and spent only 2 weeks with her.Then she sent me a Christmas card every year.Of course last year. My daughter called her `My Grandma in America'.
I saw the world for the first time and knew America through her.I don't forget her and her words forever.Thank you so much and love you.

Mr Greek and family, So sorry to hear of Mrs.Greek's passing. She was a great neighbor and always there to help and watch out for us for many years from the birth of my children and them going over to play in the backyard which they saw as this great Forest with Dee and Ryan until they all grew up into young adults. I am so sorry for your loss and may you find peace and comfort during this time in the fond memories of her and the many lives that she has touched.

Don and Family - I was so sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. Enjoyed working with her at Treher-Montague. Often saw her in Giant and we chatted. She was always cheerful and smiling when we met. She will be sorely missed. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.
