Elaine was my very good friend in high school in Anoka, MN. She had a great sense of humor and we had a lot of fun together. Elaine was an honor roll student, and was very talented musically. She played piano, sang in the school chorus, and played viola and French horn in the orchestra. She was a special friend to me, very empathetic and kind, and I will miss her.

We used to rent the mobile home in one of there mobile homes court. She would always ask, how the family doing when I paid the rent. After a few years later, Sherri found out that she was working at Culver's with one of Elaine's grandkids. A very nice and sweet lady. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
