I'm am terribly sorry to learn that your mother has passed. I worked with her at UAMS 20 years ago, and have keep in touch over the years. She had written me at Christmas and told me she was sick. I had been meaning to call her and finally was going to this morning and found her obituary. She was a great friend. Prayers for your family.

Jennifer and Brent,
I just learned of your mom's passing and am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Elaine at UAMS for many years and we would meet occasionally for lunch in the last few years to catch up. It was always easy to pick up the threads from our last conversations. I will miss playing catch up. Take care of yourselves, she lived for you kids.

Elaine sure will be missed. She never failed to make our day here at Blue Cross brighter. She was always making us laugh. She would burst into song at the drop of a hat and laugh when she got the words wrong. I have good memories of Elaine and she will always have a special place in my heart. She will most definitely be missed. Praying for the family and Rene.

Jennifer and Brent --

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother Elaine. I'll never forget our trip to Disney together. She was a very dear friend to my mom throughout all these years, although, I know we have not stayed very close. I still know how much she meant to you. May God wrap His loving arms around during this difficult time.

With All Our Love,

Stacy & Gloria

Jennifer & Brent,
I will surely miss your mother. I have fond memories of her while your were growing up. Our trips to Fayetteville for Mom's Weekends were the best. You are in my prayers.
