    Gar, Melanie, Lee and family. Sometimes you meet someone who very quickly leaves their mark on your life. Elaine was that kind of person. She made us laugh, and sing and cry. She was so full of life and fun that nothing can ever erase those memories from our hearts and minds. I know in my heart that she is no longer in pain and that she is dancing and singing with her parents and friends in heaven. Part of her will always be with us and I am certain she will always be watching over all of you. Sending all of you our love and prayers. Isabel and Kevin Myles
