Dear Molly, I have never met you, but I was a chaplain at Valley Community Church at the same time that Elaine was. I had visited Elaine in the hospital earlier this year; and had talked w/her on the phone several times. She had wanted to attend my 12 noon class on Thu at Valley Community; but it had not worked out. Please accept my sympathy. She was a delightful person and I feel honored to have known her.
Most Sincerely, Rev Betty Tarpley
