All these years later, I still remember the messages Elaine would write in her Christmas cards. She was a real sweetie. She conveyed her love for her two daughters and her husband.

On Mondays my husband and I deliver meals on wheels and we always looked forward to seeing Elaine every week. She greeted us by name and then asked about us! She made sure she gave us little treats for all the holidays, but what we will miss most is her smile. She was a special lady!

Elaine sent the most beautiful Christmas cards with a wonderful handwritten note inside. She did this for 45 Christmases and it was much appreciated. She was a thoughtful and caring person.
