My deepest condolences to the family 🙏🏽.

Charlotte and Christine, 
Thank you for trusting me to care for your mom. Although my time with her was brief,  I will always be grateful that our paths crossed and that you allowed me to be one of her caregivers. You both made sure your mom was cared for with love, compassion,  dignity,  and respect until the very end. 

One thing I will always remember is how she would often say "I want to go home," even while she was sitting in the comfort of her own home.  Those words have stayed with me,  and I find comfort in believing that she has now found her eternal home, where she is at peace.  

Your mom touched my heart in a way I will never forget.  May God surround both of you, and your brother with his love, grant yall strength in the days ahead,  and bring peace as you hold on to the beautiful memories of your mom. May my dancer rest in eternal peace.  🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

We will remember Ms Elaine, her pleasant personality, and her beautiful smile. Maria feels blessed to have had the opportunity to help care for her these last few years. Her love of God, of her family and other people, and of nature was an inspiration. She used to sit in her patio looking out at her flower plants in the back yard and watching the birds and other creatures. She made sure her front and back flower gardens were beautiful. She regularly had seasonal flowers put in to trim the front garden. She loved to have the inside and outside of  her house decorated according to the season or holiday. This made her home welcoming just as she was. We will keep the family in our prayers.

Miss Elaine was a very 
special person, in spite of her condition she always was upbeat and cheerful, I'm really going to miss her

I met Elaine and Louis in 1966 when I started dating who was to be my future husband and Elaine and Louis' good friend, Chuck. They were both so sweet and fun to be around and I just loved them both from the start. At the time they already had Louis, Jr. and Charlotte. Christine was not born yet. Chuck and I married about 14 months later and over the years we spent a lot of time with the Roberts. We eventually had 2 children, and our kids were about the same age. So many good times together.  We moved to Phoenix but came to NOLA regularly and always saw them when we were in town. Also, Louis and Elaine made a couple of trips out west to visit us. Once to Vegas too. So many memories to cherish. I feel so blessed that Elaine and Louis were lifelong friends. I will always miss them.

Louis, Charlotte and Christine- Many years ago, (in the late 50's) your Dad and I shared an apartment, while working for Liberty Mutual, in Baton Rouge. We were leading the typical single life. One day, your Dad announced that he intended to move back to NOLA. He said he intended to find a wife. Soon after, he met your Mom. They became engaged not that long afterward. I was so happy for him and loved your Mom as soon as I met her. We had a wonderful friendship for well over 60 years. They were such a devoted couple and loving parents to all of you.  So many wonderful memories to cherish. I will miss them always.

Our deepest sympathies to the family of Elaine Robert'. May God's peace and love surround her family during this difficult time. Elaine was a long time member of the Fun Seekers Club. She came to many meetings and activities. She was a pleasure to be with and will be missed tremendously. 
With sincere condolences,
Fun Seekers Club Members

It was an honor to do your nails over the years. Our appointments were never just about polish—they were filled with laughter, stories, and genuine friendship. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your life. You will be deeply missed, and I'll always cherish the memories we shared.  ❤️
