Your mother was a kind and inspiring woman that I was so priviledged to know. We sat for hours on cold, hard benches talking while we watched you girls play sports at LHS. She was a good human being that we all miss. Bless you all.

I am so sorry to hear about Elaine, and I was unaware of Reggie's passing, also. They were such a great pair, and my late husband, Steve, thought so much of them when they would come into Rusty's IGA. I truly enjoyed knowing them, too. My prayers are with you.

My son Kenneth and I had the great pleasure of living in the same apartment bldg as Elaine for a couple of years. She became family to us and we will miss her greatly. I think she was one of the few people who truly understood me and cared about us no matter what. There won't be a day go by without me remembering our pizza nights or the great talks we shared. We love you and miss you beyond words. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. May God bless your family during this difficult time.

It's been years since we last saw your mother but she is unforgettable. It is easy to remember her smile and her passion. She did not tolerate social injustices and always spoke her mind, but she never lost her love of and optimism for life. We always felt better after talking to Elaine.
We are sorry for your loss.
