I am blessed to have been Elaine’s cousin and more, to be her sister in Christ. It is the sister relationship that I have both shared in and look forward to in eternity. Elaine’s life was angelic, as by witness, she has left a legacy of Hope, that never disappoints,…Bold Faith, that always perserveres and Agape Love that never fails or fades. If you have met her then you have seen the example of who God wants us all be—Full of His grace (Joyful)!!

I am Elaine’s sister, Ann. I know that Elaine is at peace with God and ALL those that have left before her. When my sister talked about God, you not only heard the praises in her voice..you also seen it in her eyes. That’s just one of those many many things that I will miss about her. Her caring heart for family and those she just met. She found such joy and peace in watching all the Christian shows daily on TV to ministering to the young and old. She was an inspiration many to her church and most of all she was an inspiration to me. Elaine my sister I will forever miss you. I look forward to seeing you again my precious sister.

My mother was the best mother, mentor, and Godly example a daughter could ask for. Because of her and her example of love, compassion, forgiveness, and faith I am the woman I am today. Thank you God for giving me the most precious woman in the world to raise me and be my mom.
