Elaine


My step-sister, Elaine, died today at 42 of cancer. Her father married my mother almost 7 years ago. We lost my father 21 years ago & they lost their mother almost 10 years ago. Our families have known each other from the Manila Branch in the mid 60s. Her oldest sister, Elvee, was my best friend in college & I knew the older kids from Primary. I never knew Elaine but my heart goes out to her family - to Ruben and his children. Mama is flying to Salt Lake tomorrow for the funeral on Tuesday. I decided to look at my mom's wedding photos as that would probably be the last time I saw Elaine. She is 4th from left in this family picture.
