Celeste and family,
My wife and I loved your Mom. The grace and joy she offered when around her made all who came in contact with her, thanking God for bring her into our lives.
As a deacon she always thanked me for being part of the liturgy.I was with her at the Fr. Hugh's funeral. It was sad to see him go, but I got to see Elaine as a wonderful Christian with a deep abiding love for our Savior. It was a celebration and our friendship grew.
Patti and I will miss her, our faith community will miss her, and all who know her will continue to be a better person because of this Grace filled lady.
Patti and Deacon Charles
