Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, July 11, 9:00 a.m. at Adair Dodge Chapel, Tucson, AZ, with Rabbi Stephanie Aaron, officiating. Burial will take place at All Faiths Memorial Park.

We are so very sorry for your loss, our hearts are breaking for you all.... We didn't know Elaine well, but spent several hours visiting with her the very first night we met, I knew from the way she spoke of her daughter and grandsons who that daughter was, and who those beloved grandsons were as well! Such a small world, we played a joke on you the very next day Laura, do you remember? She WAS and IS a Shining Star, and will always be with you, albeit in a different way. She will be that voice in your head, the love in your heart, the song in the air. You will all be in our prayers to help you through this very difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help ease your pain. Love, Becky and Bill
