We were so fortunate to know Elaine during her years at St Joseph´s Church . We spent many fun evenings with Elaine and Fr John Baran during his time there. She loved his Halloween parties and would sometimes wrap a boa around her neck which led to my nicknaming her "Wanda"
She was a bright light in our lives with her always smiling face and her love of theatre and music and her piercing laugh .
We recently sent her some old photos I had found and she responded with a phone call . I am so happy I was able to hear her voice one more time .
Rest in peace Wanda . We love you .
