Uncle George, Donna, Vickye and extended family: God blessed each of us in a very special way through the life of Aunt Elaine. I have so many fond memories, from swinging on Grandma Hubbard's porch swing together to sharing the love of art & genealogy. I'll greatly miss so many things -- her smile, infectious laugh, those baby blue eyes, welcoming arms, and her unwavering love. I pray the Lord continues to touch each of you with His comfort, strength, and peace.
Love you all,
Nanette

Uncle George, Donna and Vickye....So true she was a wonderful wife and mother but she was also a great Aunt. Just too many memories to list! Lots of fun times when spending the night (when I was a lot younger!) or a family reunion. I loved her very much and she will be greatly missed. Our time here is so short, I wish I would have spent more time visiting. She always had this contagious laugh! My thoughts and prayers are with y'all. Love you all Renee
