"Jim and family, I am so so sorry for your loss of Elaine. She was such a sweet person and I always loved her messages. We went back and forth with all the good and of course bad things that life throws at us. We had a connection, and I will miss her terribly. I know she is hugging your girls and with Nancy. God Bless and many prayers and much sympathy."
