For Debbie McEwen:
Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. And I miss you. I wanted to come but was unable to get off work. I sent along my e-mail address..drop me a line. Would love to catch up! Give Donna and Dave a hug for me with my sympathies...though this is a sorrowful time, great joy must be present too, to know that Elaine is home with the Lord and in her glorified body! Always, Penny
She's has gone home to her Heavenly Father and to be with her loved ones that have gone before her.
May this thought bring comfort to those that love her.

I would like to express my condolances to the family of my Aunt Elaine. She was indeed the most kind and gentle person I have had the pleasure of knowing. I will never forget her comment as she hugged her much larger brother, Dayton. She patted him and said, "You are so substantial".
I will miss her quick wit and pleasant demeanor.
