We were lucky enough to live near Grandma Elaine... So near, in fact, that we could not take the bus, but "got" to walk all the way to her house after school. :) But the treasure trove of memories we acquired from all that time with her! The endless hours playing in the basement, visiting neighboring horses at the fence, coins on the railroad track, gumball machine candy, clothes shopping, cousin time, dogs racing to greet you, National Geographic and Reader's Digest, hours of conversation, the excitement of meeting her great grandkids, and watching them experience a taste of playing at Grandma Elaine's house. We will miss you, Grandma! 

My mom loved us very much but didn't like cooking but she always made sure we had a good, well rounded meal, not that we ate all of it. I always has a nice sack lunch everyday for school and even during the summers when I was working full time She always got up early and made me a good lunch. I didn't appreciate that fact until after I graduated and moved out of the house, no more nice lunches because I had to make them myself. 

Years later when I lived close to them I would stop by on my way to deliver tires to Coors and she would make me one of her famous peanut butter and honey sandwich's on sheepherder bread, we would talk for an hour or so just the 2 of us.

Mom I sure miss those special times....  



My auntielane was my favorite aunt
Growing up I was lucky enough to spend Many hours at her house
She made the best pb&js! 
I was even lucky enough to have her care for my oldest son when I needed a last minute babysitter- she was the best
My thoughts are with uncle Leo, Jeff, Greg and Kris

I will forever remember our visits and holidays at Grandma Elaines house.  I will always remember bike rides over, the snakes in the ditch, keys and coins on the railroad tracks, gatherings with cousins, thanksgiving meals, the dogs in the sun room and back yard, m&m’s from the machine, and playing with toys from well before my time..  all of these things started with the much welcomed love of Grandma Elaine at the front door of the house ushering us all in, and the unending love and hospitality for all who crossed that threshold into her home.  You will always be loved, and always be missed

I have so many wonderful  memories of grandma.  Growing up she always got me to eat my broccoli and drink my water, she would put it in a sippy cup.  Her taco salad was my favorite I’m pretty sure it’s the reason why I love taco salads to this day, and also Doritos.  I loved sitting and talking at the kitchen table, playing cards and eating MMs from the candy jar. She always had a dog by her side, I love that about her. I love her and miss her very much. 

Like Merry, I considered Mrs Remley to be a second mother to me.  She really did care about all of us kids and what we were up to even as we grew older.   I seriously owe her for the hours and hours that she put up with Kris and my rendition of Elton John and KiKi Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". and  I loved her humor...we were always reminded not to run in the street....not because we could get hurt, but because she would have to use her good spatula to scrape us off of the road.  I am so grateful to have had her in my life, she certainly was a blessing to me.  

No sweeter soul walked this Earth. Elaine was like our 2nd Mom as living next door my entire childhood she was always there with a smile and kind word.   Always had my best interests at heart.  So very glad our paths crossed in this life for so long.  Sending a hug to Leo, Jeff, Greg and Kris. 

From as early as I can remember my Grandma-lane was one of the most important people in my life. She was better than a thousand grandmas in a thousand story books. I’ll miss playing cowboys, and cards; I’ll miss toy stores and summers. I’ll miss her hugs and her heart... I’ll miss making art and reading stories, I’ll miss her care and comfort. I’ll miss her own quirky wisdom and the way she scoffed at the world’s. I’ll miss our many years of laughs and conversations.  I’ll miss her apple pie. Her unconditional love always drove out all of my fears. I’ll miss the way she always made me feel home. I love you Grandmalane.

Her roses,
Her smile,
Her good conversations,
My shopping buddy,
My Mom-I’ll miss you!
