I have enjoyed Elaine’s sense of humor and her wit while working on her hair. I will truly miss her. I’m sorry for your loss.
My condolences for the loss of Elaine. On our last visit together she kept kidding me about having more pictures of my two shih tzu’s than I had of my children! She was a delightful lady who will be sorely missed!
