My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Already miss our delightful talks over the back fence. Her thoughtfulness, sense of humor, and friendship were part of the makeup of this wonderful woman. Memories, of which there are many, will always be there for all who knew her. Love,Harriet & Glenn
Paul, our deepest sympathies on Elaine’s passing. She was a special person, and a role model for me (Ellen) growing up.
Love, Ellen and Andy
My heartfelt prayers go out in deepest love to all Elaine’s family in your great loss. She will always have a very special place in my heart. In August 1964 she took me under her wing, as a Scottish teacher being given the opportunity to teach in “Mass.Fields School” in Quincy. She greeted me with her joyful smile, and in great kindness and friendship guided me into a new American experience for which I will always be grateful. After I left she never forgot to invite me to the twice yearly Mass Field gatherings at The Common Market. We missed her so much these past years. She was always the main topic of our conversation, and always felt her presence, as we shared happy memories with much laughter. I always think of her with GREAT LOVE! Bless her Lord with well deserved Heavenly Joy!
Please accept our deepest sympathy. May those precious memories be foremost in your hearts and mind during this difficult time.
