Ed and I offer our utmost sympathy to the whole family over the recent passing of Elaine. We have such fond memories of our time spent with Elaine and Hal, especially the the year before she got sick when we went out to eat together and visited each other´s homes. We had so much fun reminiscing about the runnng years. Elaine often spoke of her wonderful children and how proud she was of them. We also heard about the talented grandchildren and their accomplishments. We are so sad. Hal and Elaine were married almost 60 years. What a love story! I´ll never forget Elaine for her kindness and her beautiful smile. We will miss her so much.

Since I met Elaine (and Hal) almost 45 years ago, Elaine always exuded warmth and compassion with a touch of humor. She always had something kind to say and listened carefully. She graciously welcomed me into her home when my aunt and uncle visited the Gabriel home. May her memory be a blessing to all who had the honor of knowing her.

I worked in newton at weight watchers with Elaine every week for a few years. I loved her. She was so fun, kind and always happy and upbeat. She was so crazy about Hal and their children and spoke of them often. She was a shining star and I will never forget her smile and laugh. She will be missed by many.

Elaine. what comes to mind is her kind voice and heart of gold. I had the privilege of literally growing up next door to her. She was a wonderful J roadway neighbor. My father Stephen Kelley and she would talk for hours summer nights. She was there for me, always checked in on my parents and asked about my puppy Kiah often :) Elaine is an all-star and I smile with so many great childhood memories. My thoughts and prayers are with Hal and the whole family.
