Elaine will be deeply missed
Elaine and Len were two very special individuals. Age was no matter to be part of enjoying celebrating with all groups of passionate and love of sports dance food and the company of being with friends whether new or old friends. I will miss Elaine running into her to converse on family friends and just on everyday life. I remember fondly and how funny we would run into each other at of all places Kohl’s at Golf Mill to shop. Len would drive all the way from a Chinatown to shop when we each got the 30% coupon off. Their love of sports especially during the times of the Bulls Championship are very special memories of getting together for the love of potluck great food and friends to watch and celebrate the wins and losses. But mostly to be among a shared group with the same enthusiasm and love of gathering no matter the travel distance and the food
RIP Elaine, love you and will miss you

I met Elaine thru so many events in Chinatown. She was the nicest,
