  1. Met Elaine when our children were at Waddington. And the PTA. Elaine was the first to volunteer, offer her home for extra meetings, always great ideas for all children. A very busy lady.
    I was a bit intimidated by how smart and strong she was. But impressed how kind Elaine was to me.
    To Elaines Family and Friends I am Truly Sorry for your loss. Lovely photo of her.
