Words can't express our profound sorrow with the passing of Elaine. We didn't get to visit her very often, but when we did she was always kind and caring. I think of her whenever I eat fudge. She made the best fudge and she was as sweet as fudge. Rest easily Elaine. Love & thanks, Tom & Harriet Carter. Severn, MD.
