Elaine and I were cheerleaders together at Love Memorial Elementary School in the 70’s. She was a year ahead of me in school. I remember her being a beautiful girl. Always kind to me and was somewhat motherly. When I picture her, I see her smiling. Its strange how I thought of her today it’s been 5 years exactly. Her brother Keith was in my class and was also very sweet.
