Ted and Tara, I was so sorry to hear about "Aunt" Elaine as I always called her. I didn't see anything about her passing until today on kogt.com. I always remember her laughing and being lots of fun. Take care, Barbara Cummings Trahan##imported-begin##Barbara Cummings Trahan##imported-end##

Ted,David and Family, There are no words to express my loss. Your Mom "is a one of a kind." She imparted a great deal of herself to me to carry on and share with my family and friends ie. "If there is a will,there is a way." She is a treasure---never##imported-begin##Sue Ellen Gondran##imported-end##
