Elaine and Mark were old friends of my mom and dad's and she was my Godmother. I had not see her in years but when I did run into her, usually at the Women's Exchange, she always asked about our family and even my own children and husband. She was always such a kind person who always had a smile on her face. I am sorry I won't be able to attend the funeral but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
