I shall miss Elaine’s Christmas phone call and all her family news of the year. The many times she and her mother and sisters would arrive at the Arthur and Ella’s home in the Miramichi for a quick visit with my Mum Annie and myself who were staying there for the summer. May she rest in peace..Sheila MacDonald Saint John NB Canada

I remember Elaine coming to thr Miramichi with her mother. They would come to the house and my mother Ida King would come and sit on the verandah so the two could talk. So patient and good to her mother. Sincere sympathy to the family at this sad time. Mary King, Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada
