Jim and Family: My heart goes out to you Jim and all the family. Elaine was an amazing person inside and out. She had such a love for life, she adored her family and all her grandchildren. She reminded me so much of my own mother and I use to tell her that and it brought a tear to her eye. She loved her music and adored you Jim so much she use to always talk about you to me and said I don’t know what I would do without him. Elaine was an amazing seamstress and was always so happy when showing me the beautiful things she would make for her family. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren so much. She will be missed immensely. Sending sincere condolences to you Jim and all the family.
