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 & Brent :You know how I felt about your mom & how much I will miss her and my visits and phone calls we had.
I am just glad I had some quality time with her in Houston.
I am so at peace for her now,
I am sorry to not make the services but I am ok with it.
Love you all
Julie
So very sorry for the loss of such a beautiful person. Our prayers are with the family. A mother's love will always live in your hearts.
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.
Jennifer & family
Our prayers & love are reaching out to you.
Take time to mourn, but always remember the good times.
Jennifer, Brent, and Jim
my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Rene,
Our condolences in this dark time for you. Know that Diane and I are praying for you and Elaine's family. She will be missed.
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.
I was so sorry to hear about Elaine. I worked with her at ABCBS and she was just a joy to be around. We all miss her greatly.
God bless the family! So sorry for ur loss! Praying for all of u!
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.
