Whenever I see a ladybug, I smile and think of you, Elaine. I will never forget you. 

You were such a sweet and helpful friend. You took such good care of our dog when we went on our 25th anniversary trip, almost 25 years ago. We never worried about him 'cause we knew you were enjoying spoiling him. 

And I'll never forget taking you and my mom on our little kayak trip during our girls camping trip in Alpena. That was when I realized just how scared you were of thunderstorms. 

I met you thru your job at Arthur Nelson Plmb and Heating. That was a beginning of our long and pleasant conversations. I know you were happy to be reunited with your fur babies when you joined them again on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Give Sounder and Bailey some extra loving while they wait for us, please.

Mom

I miss you so so much. My heart is shattered. You were not only my Mom but my very best friend. How am I gonna do life without you here? I Love You mostest mom. 💔
