Elaine was married to my Dad's brother Uncle Warren. The most profound memory that I have of Uncle Warren and Aunt Elaine was born when I went to spend some time with them as a teen. The guest bedroom was close to theirs and I remember that after they were in bed and the lights were out for the night, I could hear the talking with one another about their day. I understand that this was a ritual with them nightly. What a great example!!! We were also amazed to learn that they had NEVER had an argument. In retrospect, each had a gentle sweetness of nature about them that drew folks in. With Elaines' passing marked the end of their generation within our family. She will surely be missed....

I am very sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. She was friends of my grandmother, Bernice Spurrier. She was such a lovely lady. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
