Brenda & Diane, I am so sorry to hear the news of your Moms passing. She was just simply, a delightful human being. I would run into her out shopping all the time over the years. It was obvious to even a casual observer, how much she loved her family. I know she will be missed & I send my love & prayers for you both & your families. RIP Elaine enjoy the peace.
