Elaine Latting

Grandma,

You and Grandpa were the peace in the storm when I was growing up. Time never seemed to touch you, and I never thought there would be a world without you in it. You might be gone, but you won't be forgotten.

I remember when I was little and told you I was afraid of the dark and you told me "Don't be afraid of the dark, because the dark is afraid of your grandma!", and I was never afraid of the dark again...and I passed that along to Rachael when she was afraid...

Thank you for sharing these pictures. Elaine was a special lady. If we greeted each other at church, it goes without saying that it had to include a hug. I loved her wry sense of humor and her ability to "tell it like it is." May God comfort her family and friends. We are going to miss her.

For many years she was in charge of the jewelry room at our Attic Treasures sale and did a bang up job! She was a quiet private person and I enjoyed being in her company. Will miss her.

I so enjoyed many conversations with Elaine and appreciated her vigor. She is deeply missed by many residents of our apartment community.

Elaine was always such a joy to be around. Very delightful lady. I've known her from here at braidwood. Always seemed chearful. She will be greatly missed here. R.I.P. you've earned your wings. Prayers to the family.

In 1987 we met Elaine. She sold us our house. To our delight she later started attending church and our Sunday School class. She was usually quiet but would every once in a while put in her 2 cents and we all loved her for her wit and quick humor! We will truly miss her.

Mom never gave up and never slowed down until recently. Even then she could leave me in the dust. I would turn around to assist her and realize she was 10 feet past me. She always knew when it was time to give something up and her kids never had to tell her “you really shouldn’t be driving” or “you really should be using a walker.” She knew before we did and just did it. I love you mom, and I’ll miss you ❤❤❤
