Kevin and family,

we were very sorry to hear of Elaine's passing. We have been out of touch for some time but my mother Liz and her were friends. I remember Elaine as a beautiful and loving woman that would do anything for you, that always brought joy to people. Since I joined the united states navy in 2004 I have learned just how important family and friends are and how one minute they are there and the next minute they can be taken away. I just found out from my dad that she was ill with pancreatic cancer and that she had passed away. I couldn't believe it because she was so young and full of life. Just because she can not be hear with us physically doesn't mean she isn't here in spirit watching over her loving family and friends. My family and I just wanted to send our condolences. you will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Kevin, Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.  Our families met briefly while Elaine and my wife Kim shared a room at Strong.  We felt fortunate to have met Elaine, yourself and your children. Elaine struck me as a very kind and gentle person.  Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
With Warmest Regards, Steve Kimball

Dear Kevin,Tony,and Rachel,

We are so sad and shocked to learn of your wife/mother's passing, we didn't even know she was sick. We would of liked to come and pay our respects, but we just found out, we're sorry. I first met Elaine and her family at the daycare our kids went too. Our friendship continued growing over the years through school, play dates, and scouts. Elaine always wore a smile to brighten up everyone's day. She loved helping people, even if only to sit and listen, but most of all she loved her family. We our blessed for the time that we had together, but our Angel from God will be deeply missed. Your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We're here for you if you need anything. God Bless!

I had the pleasure of working with Elaine at RGH. She was a lovely person, who will definitely be missed. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is saddened by the loss of such a bright light in our lives...Elaine had the presence and grace that only a select few people are blessed to have...she was always someone I aspired to be like and marveled at her humility and positive outlook...my life was made richer by knowing her and I want to honor her by living my life to its fullest, striving to be like her and always find the beauty in all things...good and sad...I will miss you Elaine. My thoughts, support and prayers to her family.

Dear Melia family, I am so sad to hear about your loss of your beautiful Elaine..Her and I worked together at Visiting Nurse Service  several years ago and there wasn't a better nurse or a kinder person than Elaine. Please accept my deep sympathy .

We only had a very brief encounter with Elaine, the children and you at our daughter's wedding to Elaine's cousin,  our wonderful, son-in-law, Mark. Phil and I were struck by her gracious charm and friendliness. We have been praying for her, but I guess God didn't want her to suffer any more, so HE took her home. May HE now bring you Comfort.
