    I’m still in heartbroken disbelief that Elaine is no longer with us. She was such a beautiful person inside and out! Her light will shine forever in my memory, forever in my heart. Gone too soon. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved her. Her family and loved ones will be in my prayers today and every time I remember her, which truly will be always. She is a forever friend and left us all with her warmth and love which she never failed to share. I will carry this forward in her memory always. ??♥️??
