No more pain, no more suffering, Elaine has been delivered from all the discomforts of this world. God has added another angel to His courts. We will miss her smiling face, but knowing that she is the loving arms of our father, should put a smile on our face. My prayers are for her family , and may they find comfort in knowing, she is free at last, and has been made complete, and we give God all the Glory.
