My heart goes out to Ruth, Brian, Laura, Greg, Lisa, and the rest of the family. I was blessed to know Elaine, and I have so many great memories of her (her spunk most of all). I think of her every time I make her banana and pumpkin bread during the holidays. I pray time brings you peace and comfort.
