We send our love and prayers to all of you. My memories of Elaine go back to November 9, 1956, when John came in from Germany on a 3 week leave and we were married in the parsonage. (We were engaged but he sneaked in on me unexpectedly--typical Rushing?). Brother Stone married us and Elaine was kind enough to play the piano and add a special touch to a quick wedding, but it has lasted almost 51 years and I am now a sister-in-law to Charlotte. Thanks to all of you for what you mean to us and may God comfort you. We grieve with you. Rose and John

I was very sadden to learn of the loss of a lifelong friend. I first meet and became friends with Elaine when I went to work at B&K. I later joined her father's church, Riverside Baptist Church. Elaine, like her dad, was quite a prankster. always joking and full of fun. you will be missed here on earth, but not forgotten.
My deepest sympathy to the family, but I know that you know it is not permanent!!!
Love & blessings to each of you.
Pat
