Cindy, I went to Blenk with you and we roomed together at Nicholls State. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss.

My condolences to all the Bush family. I have many fond memories of Elaine from when I attended St Anthony and Blenk with Cindy and Becky. She was always very kind and gracious to me whenever she welcomed me into her home. She was a very friendly and outgoing lady and I know she will be missed by all.
