I’m so sad to see that Elaine has passed. What a dear woman and friend she was. My wife and I are missionaries, and Elaine has partnered with us faithfully through prayer and financial support for 36 years! What a picture of faithfulness she was to us! I am honored to have known her, and will miss her. My thoughts and prayers go to the family.
