    My heart is broken at the loss of your Dear Elaine and a dear friend to me for over 50 years. I will miss her humor, her fashion style and love of Art. I feel blessed to have so many great memories with Elaine, Toni and Val. All my love to you John.

    Elaine was my classmate at U-City High School! We graduated in 1972! She was always bubbly and happy! We were always happy to see her at our Class Reunions! This sweet Soul will be dearly missed by the U-City Class of 1972!πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

    Where did I begin? What a huge loss to all that knew Elaine. We’ve been friends since out days at Webster College. What a sassy gal! And her art ( which I was gifted 2 pieces!) always amazed me. But, most of all…such a great friend. I will never forget Elaine. My prayers are with John and Elaine’s extended family.

    Elaine was my classmate at U. City High. You have my deepest sympathy.

    This is so sad for all that knew her. We were art and college mates and continued as mates over the last 50 years. Her loss has placed holes in our hearts and will be ever missed by Toni, Judy and myself and her family. What a sensitive kind person and my favorite critic.

    Elaine was a dear, dear person. We went through Hanley Jr High and U City High together. Always so nice to me and everyone else. Rest In Peace Dearest Elaine.
