Not sure what to say?

I am thinking of you this early summer morning and remembering fondly all the times you played badminton with me in the road in front of our houses. It and you were so much fun.
A lovely lady with cheerful smile , quick to laugh, you are missed. May you Rest In Peace now.

Gonna miss you my friend

Elaine & I worked together part-time when Weston's was only discount store in Watertown. Sundays were busy with buses coming over from Ontario.
She was always a happy & cheerful person and we got to know each other's families a bit. To all
her surviving family, please know I have fond memories of her.

It seems so cruel when life takes someone so kind and full of goodness, like you Aunt Elaine, because you were such a bright light to everyone you met and knew. I could never think of you and your obvious love, without getting a smile on my face and in my heart. And that smile of yours ...pure light! It brings me joy to know you are free from all pain and suffering and I know you had a welcoming committee waiting at Heavens door. Your goodness and faithfulness will live on in your beautiful...

Elaine had a great smile. It was a joy to see both Elaine and Glenn in church when they would come to Corfu to visit Steve and Linda. She was so sweet and will be missed.

We were neighbors to Elaine and Glenn many years ago on South Meadow St. We really enjoyed our friendship with them. We are so glad we visited them in July and spent time with both Elaine and Glenn.
She was a very happy, outgoing person. Very kind and considerate. She will be missed by so many.
So happy that they renewed their wedding vows on their 59th anniversary last week.
The memories we have of her are our treasures.

She always had the most wonderful smile for everyone. I always remember how she always made me feel welcome in her home over the years. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful woman for an aunt.
