I have the most beautiful memories of Elaine. She made me laugh all the time. We both really liked the Christian rap artist Lacrae. I know Elaine loves her family and would talk about her daughter Candice all the time. I know Elaine loves God! I use present tense b/c she is in heaven. God please look over Elaine’s family in this very difficult time. Let them know my prayers are with them. In Jesus’ name… Amen Sincerely, Christina “Chris” Martin
I was so sorry to hear of Elaine’s passing. I’ve known Elaine for several years. She always was one of the first to volunteer to help at the Alano Club of the North Side. She will be dearly missed. I treasured her enthusiasm, her infectious smile, and her dedication to helping others My condolences, Vaile Ellis Chicago IL
My deepest condolences to you & your family. Elaine was a lovely & caring person with the biggest heart. She will be missed.
Elaine was my oldest niece. I loved her unconditionally with my whole heart and she loved me the same. She will forever be in my heart. I know that she is in heaven with our God. May God keep her in his arms and watch over those she loved 🙏🏾
