Mr. Ken, We are so saddened by your loss... Our lives were blessed by having known Mrs. Elaine. She was one of the sweetest Christian ladies I've ever had the privilege of knowing!!!! She made us feel so welcome in your home. Our children Todd and Connie loved her too!!! I will always cherish the memories and sweet gifts from her. Especially our pepper grinder that has a mind of its own. I always think of y'all every time we use it, which is almost daily. All the many hours we have sat in your living room and on the back porch laughing and having good times we will never forget!!!! Every time I see periwinkles I will think of this beautiful lady. Her pets had the best life ever. I know we will see her again some day because we have someone in our Iives that makes this possible "Jesus Christ". Heaven has gained a very special Angel . She will be greatly missed but never forgotten. We Love You,
Talbert, Kathi, Todd and Connie
