What a shock!!!!! I just spent the night before with my sister and we had a great time, laughing and preparing for
 the Super Bowl. She never was into football and she knew I was rooting for the Pittsburgh Steelers. She said she would root for the Steelers too. We planned to have baked chicken and mashed potatoes for the game. Never did I imagine that God would be planning for her arrival into his loving arms the day before the game. Elaine was a sister, a friend, and often a mother to me. We were closer than close and through it all, the good times and the bad, we were always together no matter the weather. i will always remember her beautiful smile, her boisterous laugh, and her quick wit. She never let me down and taught me so much. She loved my family with all of her heart and that always showed. Elaine will never be forgotten for she will always live through me. Elaine, rest on now, for you deserve to do so. Your mission has been completed on earth and I know we will meet again. I will always love you.

Dear Alton,
You all have lost an incredible friend, wife, mother, and grandma.  For all of us, hearing of Elaine's passing brings a sense of unbelievable loss.  Her life will be forever celebrated as you remember her smile,  vibrancy and her journey through life.    We have sent up a myriad of prayers for support and encouragement; now just remember to lean on the gift of God's Word when you wonder if you will ever find your joy again.  Life brings new promise with every sunrise.

Alton and Family
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your loving wife. There are really no words that I can say that will mitigate your pain; take comfort in knowing that she is with our lord now and removed from the afflictions of our daily life. Remember all the joyous moments that you shared together, keep them in your mind and heart and she will live within yourself forever and until you meet again.

With my prayers

Alton, I am so sorry for your loss.  Please find comfort in the Lord at this time. "Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted- Mathew 5:4." In this time when man's words cannot comfort you, put your trust in God and lean on Him.  God Bless you and your family and may he bring you peace in the coming days.- Manju Joseph.

This is a very sad moment and we offer our sincerest condolences to everyone in the Bryant household. When Lannie was a baby, Elaine said she wanted to bring her up with love and grace. Elaine's life can be summed up as one lived to the fullest with love and grace. Elaine loved with acceptance and without judgement. That is very rare in this world and she will be really missed for it. Our prayers go out to everyone who loved Elaine or who was loved by her.

My heart goes out to you and your entire family.  May God keep you and wrap his loving arms around you and your family during this very tough time in your lives.  I am praying for you all today and always.  God Bless You all.

As quoted by Mother Teresa:
"Smile at each other,  smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other – it doesn't matter who it is -- and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other."
It is very apparent from the photo album that there is abundant love for your wife.
