The pool will not be the same without Elaine's pretty eyes and focused workout. I will miss her. My condolences to Marie and to Elaine's family.

I just got on my computer from being gone over Christmas to Oklahoma and saw Elaine has passed. Oh, I am so sorry. She was one of my very best friends and had been awhile since I had talked to her. I will miss her dearly even though I haven't kept up with what was going on in Colorado. My love and prayers are with you all. Love, Herma Jean

I will miss you Aunt Elaine. I have so treasured the special time I have been able to share with you, Mom and Aunt Marie over the last couple of years. Your lack of presence at the competitive domino games, will leave such difference. It might allow someone else to win. You were the best, in so many ways. I will always love and miss you.
