Jim, Jerrie, and Kevin,
I am so sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. What a wonderful person she was. I will always cherish the many great memories of her in my childhood. I think Bo and I would have been lost without her in our life! I know she is in a place with no pain and celebrating her new life. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. I apologize for having to send you an email, but I have been out of town this week for work. Take care of yourself and lots of hugs. -Donna
