Jean Schaub wrote a sympathy message

“We have know Elaine for over 30 years. We first met Elaine and Dean on a two week bus trip through Europe. They added such joy to our group. Years later we met again in the Addison/Manitou Beach area when we were at St. Mary on the Lake Church. Her joyful spirit and unending faith were an inspiration for us. We offer our prayers and sympathy to her family. May joyful memories bring you peace and comfort. John and Jean Schaub, Jackson, Michigan”
