Elaine and I were in the BHS Band together, and we both played trombone. We played a lot of music, spent many hours marching and practicing, and had many good times during those years. Elaine always had that bright smile and bubbly spirit that could make Elmo the Grouch feel good. Oh, how I envied her beautiful blonde hair! Elaine was a kind soul with a huge heart. It was an honor to have known her.
