“I am deeply saddened to hear of Elaine’s passing. She was such a dear soul.”
“Ronnie, it is so saddening to think of a childhood friend and classmate passing on. And, so very sad to think of you losing your sister. Elaine was a nice friend to have for our first eight years of school and I am thankful to have known her. She was a very kind person. With deepest sympathy, Frances Wender Weeks”
“Elaine, You were one of the warmest and friendliest people that I have known. You will definitely be missed. Rest in peace Elaine.”
“Family- Please accept my condolences. The last time Elaine and I talked, we shared happy conversations about the “good old days” working together. May God keep family and friends strong.”
“Ron, Elaine and I had some great times together. So sorry to hear of her passing.”
“Ron, You have my Deepest Sympathy.My Prayers will be with you.”
“Ron I’m so sorry for your loss. Elaine was such a nice person. I know you will miss her. My prayers are with you.”
“Elaine-You were a great friend. I enjoyed the conversations we shared when our Moms were in the nursing home. You always had a lovely smile, no matter what. Ronnie, you have my deepest sympathy. You will always be in my prayers. God Bless You. “
“Elaine, we go back to 1960 and I never thought this day would come. I just got off the phone with Carl. He and I talked for over an hour about the “good old days”. The three of us were together almost every week-end and danced our legs off at Solomon’s Pier. LOL. We will both miss you so much. We will see you on the other side. I know you are happier now as you have not been happy for a very long time. I hope you are up there dancing and visiting with your beloved Mother and Father. God Speed, my friend. Love, Audrey”
“Ronald,although you may not remember me, your sister and I were great friends long long ago when I stayed the summers with my sister and brother-in-law – John and Margaret Armentrout – Elaine was one of the sweetest and kindness persons I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We have remained friends through the years by keeping in touch through my sister. Elaine will always have a special place in my heart. God bless and be with you during this time of sadness.”
“Just heard of Elaine’s passing. Sorry we were not available this past week to express our condolences in person. Elaine was a kind loving lady and I know she will be missed.”
“I went to high school with Elaine and remember how beautiful she looked at one of our class re-unions. She was just as charming as she was beautiful. I live in Wisconsin, and I am very sad that I won’t see her again at the next class re-union.”
