My sympathy to all of Elaine's family. I enjoyed visiting with her at the bowling alley during the Coffee Cup league. She always had a beautiful smile and just a wonderful person.

Sympathy to the Costigan family. Elaine was a pleasant face for everyone who entered the bank. She always had a piece of candy for little kids, big kids, and pets.
