From the time I was a little girl I was fascinated by Elaine. Her sunny personality, ever present smile, infectious laugh, and unfailing kindness were magnetic. Elaine's outer beauty only magnified my curiosity about her. Movie star beautiful, she reminded me of a miniature version of Annette Funicello. She and Bob spent countless hours at my parents home and I loved it when they visited. Where many adults didn't pay much attention to children, both she and Bob always made a point of connecting with you and making you feel both seen, heard and valued. I adored her. To speak about Elaine without mentioning Bob, is simply inconceivable. Always together, Elaine, the loyal sidekick, went along with the flow of Bob's good natured joking. A trail of laughter and love followed them wherever they went. It is with such heavy hearts that we extend our deepest sympathies to both Bob, Christine, Cathy and their families.
