Elaine

Daughter of Edward and Ferne
Sibling of Renee and Stuart
Who loves my family dearly, to read, the sunshine on my face, and to snuggle in front of agood movie with a bowl of popcorn
Who fears snakes, living alone when I’m a senior citizen, a nuclear war, and something
dreadful happening to one of my family members

unconditionally loved by my family, and respect from my peers
Who wants to go back to college to get another degree, lobster tail for dinner once a week, newcarpet that doesn’t reek of dog, and to be able to sing with a lovely voice

Who lives in a small, 100-year-old house at the end of the block
