Words can not express how much I will miss her. As the first granddaughter I have always had a special bond with her. She was a shoulder to cry on and always listened to my troubles and stories. I was blessed to have lived with her for three years and be able to spend those days with her. I will miss our gossip sessions over the Star magazines and over the different tv shows we were watching. She was a warm hearted, caring woman that will always hold a special place in my heart!! I know she is looking down on me and my daughter with a smile and I hope to keep her proud of me!!!

Tom, My deepest sympathy to you and your boys. I will always have such fond memories of Elaine. I used to enjoy standing outside and talking with her when I lived on Guerra Drive. She will be in my prayers. Julie ( Liz, Angie & Christine's mom)
