We are very sorry for your loss. We have had the joy of living next door to Elaine for the past 11 years. Knowing her has been a gift. Elaine has helped our three children to develop the love for jigsaw puzzles, helping others and Elaine's baked goodies. We will miss her gentle waves, her warm smile, kind voice, and bright eyes. We are blessed to have known her and to be her neighbors.
Our thoughts and prayers,
The Barry Family

Dear Family and Friends of Elaine,
My family and I are truly sorry for your loss. We had the pleasure of living next door to Elaine for the past 11 years. Elaine was always so kind and always thoughtful to our family. Knowing her has been a gift. She helped to build my three children's love for jigsaw puzzles, helping others and for Elaine's baked goodies. We will miss her gentle waves, her soft voice, kind smile and her bright eyes. We are blessed to have had her as our neighbor.
She will be greatly missed.
With Love, Thoughts and Prayers,
The Barry Family
John, Christina, Julianna, Ryan and Mikayla

Andrea and family, Elaine was truly a "Virtuous Woman" and will be missed!
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

My dearest friend, Elaine,
I am so glad that I got to spend that special time with you a few weeks ago. Thank you for coming into my dream to tell me that you are okay. I know that you are one of my angels and look forward to playing hand and foot with you again. You will forever live in my heart. You have taught me so much! Thank you for being! Namaste, Bobbi
