    Im so glad Elaine was able to be at our 50 th class reunion last fall ...it was so good to see her and catch up with her. Ill always remember her even from elementary years with a smile on her face and saying something funny to get everyone laughing.
    My thoughts are with her close family and prayers for the comfort and peace only the Lord can give them.
