Jerry, Roy, JoNell, Dan, Phyllis, all of Elane's grandchildren and great-grandchildren:

Elane was such an easy person to love and enjoy, because her heart was so full with love for others. Her sense of humor was so completely unique. Jerry, you gave her such tender, loving care for many years, and we know all of you will miss her physical presence a lot. We will miss her too. No one could know her and not miss seeing her again.

Wayne and I extend our condolences to you and your family. At this time of our grief at the loss of her presence in our lives, she celebrates at finally arriving "Home" again. I wish we could have been there in person for the final celebration of her life today.

Love,

Cindy mcgregor

Jerry and Roy, I am so very sorry for Elane's passing but I am blessed that I could meet her and get to know her these last three weeks. She sure made me smile whenever I saw her. Know that you both and your family are in my prayers.
