My deepest sympathy goes to Mary and Dan, Hannah and Michael. Elaine was a most enjoyable and wonderful person to know. A Mass will be said at the U. of Notre Dame for her. She is with God.

Writing this for my wife, Joan. She worked with Elaine and Otto Felix and became fast friends sharing many laughs and fond memories. Elaine was a kind person that shared many warm memories with everyone she met. I will miss our phones calls. John Schroeder
