Elaine,

I will always remember your electric smile and your very demure approach to life.

I remember so well the first time I met you and Pete at Cathy and Mike's place in Nashville. I was honored that you two actually came to my home in Kingston Springs and we spent time together again. I know your daughter Cathy loved you so much and was actually able to speak to you by phone, in Cathy's car, many times.

I love this picture as I will always remember you this way!

Condolences to all the family for losing such a sweet lady.
