To Ronnie, Michael, Dino,
Karen, and Lorrie – We will
always remember Elaine for
the special gift she
possessed with her great
sense of humor. Please
accept our heartfelt
condolences during this sad
and difficult time. The
pain, suffering and loss of
this very special lady can
become a blessed moment as
the Lord works wonders in
all of our hearts as we
believe in the
Resurrection. Elaine once
told me that she believed.
Elaine now begins her new
life in Heaven and she will
be there to greet all of us
when God calls us Home.
Tears shed in grief allows
for crystal clear vision
illuminating friends and
family through wiser more
loving eyes.
In John 14:1–6, Jesus tells
us he has gone before us to
prepare a place; and
promises to return to take
us to our eternal home.
Jesus said to Elaine
Devine, “Welcome home, good
and faithful servant.”
