Not sure what to say?

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

My deepest sympathy

Elaine and I were co-editors of the Spencerport Senior Yearbook. She was valedictorian and when we co-hosted the final senior assembly, we both showed up in the dress...totally unplanned. Thankful for Elaine's gracious humor as the show went on!

She truly used her many gifts so thoughtfully

With hope that her family's memories become treasures of comfort.

I was honored to co-edit the Spencerport Senior Yearbook with Elaine. She was valedictorian and when we co-hosted the final senior assembly-- we wore the same dress! Totally unplanned and Elaine flowed with her consummate graciousness.
She used her many gifts so thoughtfully.
Hoping her family finds that their memories become treasures of comfort.

I am sorry to hear about Elaine's passing!! She was a wonderful classmate!!

I will remember Elaine and her infectious smile. She was a beautiful soul, and I am so pleased I got to see her and share some time at our last year's 50th class reunion. Shine on sweet lady.

I will always remember Elaine for her intellect, tireless work on behalf of her class and school, and for her kindness. I'm glad she had the opportunity to re-connect with so many classmates at last year's 50th reunion. My condolences to her family.

Elaine and I shared some classes in high school and sat next to each other in band. I thought of Elaine as a beautiful, shining diamond. I was always in awe of her intellect, grace and kindness. I was blessed to encounter Elaine again last summer at our high school reunion. Elaine's passing is a terrible loss, especially to those of us who loved and admired this outstanding lady. I feel grateful and enriched to have known Elaine, and I send my deepest condolences to Elaine's family.

To Elaine's family, my deepest sympathies on your loss. She was our classmate of Spencerport 1968. Many fond memories. GOD bless her.

Dr. Cleeton was an extraordinary professor, and anyone who had taken her classes would say the same. Dr. Cleeton was a mentor, role model, and friend and she will be greatly missed by the Geneseo community and her devotion to social justice will always be remembered. My condolences reach to her friends and family. I am so lucky to have known her.
