To the family of Elaine, I send my heartfelt condolences and pray that you feel God's comfort and peace as you reflect on her life.
She was a kind and caring high school classmate, admired for her musical talent, and shared the challenges of conjugating those German verbs.
Love and prayers,

Family of Elaine, hope you find some peace and comfort with each other.
My memory of my cousin Elaine goes back to very early years on her family’s farm. She and her sisters were an important part of happy and busy times spent together on the farm for my siblings and me. Our fathers were very close brothers so we always had a few summer weeks together.
Spending music breaks with Elaine playing piano was a very special time too. I think we all knew the words to Peter, Paul & Mary so singing around the piano was a fond memory.
In 2019 many of the cousins came together in Watford and so happy Elaine was there too. We enjoyed our catching up and reminiscing of childhood days. Including a picture of this visit and you can see by our smiling faces how happy we were to be together again.
Love to the family and friends of Elaine, she is missed but always in our hearts.
Penny Sannes
