Condolences to the family and friends. Elaine and her family were always there for me when I was growing up in Urbandale and even after I moved south. Heaven is a little brighter today.

My favorite aunt, Elaine had a quick wit, ready laughter, and truly loved her family. Goodbye, dear Aunt 'laine. My love to Deb, who was always by her side, and to the rest of her family. She will be missed, and left us all lovely memories.
