My dear family,
I am so very sad that Elaine is gone from this earth. She has no more pain. The heavens have another angel to watch over all of us. I loved the time I spent with her, I talked about our child hood and sang her songs. She turned her head and smiled a lot that day. When I left, I knew it was my last time with her alive. She was a very special sister , a loving wife and mother. She touched so many lives with her life in Arizona, she will be missed always. I love you both . May God bless you and keep you as you go the journey taking this wonderful woman back home.

With such a great loss there are no words that can express the indescribable pain that the family is enduring at this time. But remember weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning…God sees all and knows all that we are feeling. He will remove any saddness of the passing of Elaine and restore the joy of knowing we will see her again.

Little Lou, I can still remember the first time I met your mom, you were so tiny and she wanted to make sure you were safe playing across the street. I could tell that she loves you so very much. Big Lou, I remember the last time I saw Elaine and yourself at The Old Spaghetti Factory, you high fived me and Elaine smiled at me with her soft face. She always had this graceful beautiful way about her. I know she’s watching over both of you and that the love she has for you both she has shared with everyone around you. I feel it and my heart is spilling over with that love. Let that love and your friends and family take care of you now.

Elaine was the most kind lady I knew. Always thinking of and doing for others. So soft spoken but with a huge heart. I’ve worked with her for about 20 years and in the last 10 to 12 of those years we became good friends. We swapped family stories and happenings all the time. I recall buying candy from her to support Lou Jr’s baseball team. She was always bursting with pride for her son. Such a loving mother and wife. I will dearly miss her and our daily hugs and chats. I know I will see her again some day but until then there will be a void in my life.
God Bless you forever Elaine.
