I am so sorry to hear about Elaine passing. She was a sweet and precious cousin. I know she had a large reunion as she walked through the gates of heaven seeing her parents and loving sisters. To the rest of the family just know God is taking good care of her. My love to you all, Cousin Alice Marie Douthit McVey
