Elaine brought a lot of enjoyment in my life and I feel privileged to have known her. Unfortunately, we had lost contact in later years but she was always in my mind and hear.

I'm blessed to have called Elaine my friend. I loved working with her at Christian & Barton and will forever remember the little special things she always said and did for me and my family. What a special lady who will be missed by so many.

Bill, it has been many years since I've seen Elaine, but many of her fellow co-workers at Christian & Barton have kept up with her over the years, and if I didn't hear from her myself, someone would let me know what was going on in her life. I will miss hearing about her lastest endeavor to shake things up! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
