I am so sorry to hear of Elaines passing. Knowing her as a friend at Bishop Ryan, occasional contact with her and Ruthie at Keno, having her as neighbor at Applewood heights and standing behind her at St. John Viannie church on Sundays. She was always so lovely and friendly. My condolences to the family and especially Ruthie. My prayers are for everyone. I will extend my daily mass and prayers for Elaine. I have included Tom Keating in my prayers recently. Interesting how he impressed me so much in life. The best I can do is include him and Elaine in my prayers. God bless everyone at this time. Ron Turco, Las Vegas Nevada!
