We’re so sorry Elaine will no longer be with us to share all that she had to offer, but rest assured that she will not be forgotten.

This is a sad time. My heart goes out to you and Steven. As one of Steven’s former teachers, it was clear to me that Elaine was a loving involved mom, who cared very much about family, and her child’s education. She must have been extremely proud of Steven’s accomplishments. I am thankful you had the good Christmas you wanted, and were able to laugh together. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless.
