Steve,
I was sad to hear of Elaine's passing. I was very fond of her. I always enjoyed our visits at Kavanagh and Ramsey. She especially liked telling me about you and the girls. She was a very honest, down to earth, very caring person. I know you will miss her a lot and I am praying for God's peace and comfort to fill your heart during this time and in the months to come.
God Bless You, Vicki Templeton
