Mike and Kathy, I’m very sorry for your loss. Your mom was one of a kind and I’m so thankful that I was able to be her friend for so many years! She gave me much laughter and yet always tried to make us comfortable in any way she could, mostly offering to feed us with her awesome cooking! Sadly I can’t attend the funeral because I’m out of town, but you’ll be in my prayers today and as time goes on! She will be missed!!

My deepest sympathy to Elaines family. I have so many good memories of working with Elaine at the St. James rummage sales. She was fun and such a joy to work with! We work the floor awhile and then she would say to me, now let us go and work at the jewelry counter and we would sit and visit. It was our special time together. Such good memories! Rest in peace, my friend.
