Elaine and I shared many common experiences. We were both teachers and graduates of IUP. Beyond our teaching careers, we enjoyed activities that our sons were involved in. Jim and Darren led Elaine and I on several interesting "adventures"! I always loved her company and know she will be missed by all her family and friends. She is now at peace wrapped in Gods loving arms.
