Elaine, a true and beautiful friend will always be in my heart. I feel such an emptiness and I feel very lucky that she was a part of my life. We shared so much; our good times and our not so good times. I know without a doubt that she is surrounded by animals. I will have an empty place in my heart. Give me a sign when you are with me. Love Karen
