Lee and Family. Rose and I just learned yesterday (Dec. 7th) of Elaine's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences. Words are inadequate tools at times like these and instead of words focus on the wonderful, wonderful memories that will live forever in your minds of your wonderful wife and mother.
