Once there was another time before families kept us busy. Once there was a time where friendships were made thru school and church. This was the time when Elaine became my friend. And even though its been many years I could tell you what her laugh sounded like when she was giggling so hard she couldn’t breathe. I could tell you she had a shy, soft smile that put you at ease. One of my favorite memories of Elaine is when she got a stick shift car and we went to practice her driving, down Leonard street. What a herky jerky event. We laughed until tears rolled down our faces and we had to pull over until we got it together. So very blessed to have had her as friend. My deepest sympathy to all.
