I am blessed to have known Elaine most of my life grown up with Robin. Incredibly kind, smart, caring and funny. So Manu memories including many in the red convertible. She was also a Cool Mom.
Will be sorely missed. Love
Too many memories to count but what I’ll always hold in my heart is her laugh. Deep, generous. Always made me want to laugh with her. It was a life well lived and well loved. May her memory be a blessing. ❤️
