Elaine & I were neighbors and best of Friends, during Grade & High School. I will remember fondly, her smiles and the laughter we shared while taking rides in Ron's Convertible. She was taken too young. I do know she loved and lived for her family and grand kids. She will be missed by many.

Brian, Barry, and Tricia I am sorry about Auntie Elaine. I am very thankful to have been with you all in April and to see how happy she was. She was always good to me and let me eat way too many candy bars! I am not sure but I think I may have been her favorite "ding bat"! :) I love you all.
