The family

I am so sorry I did not get the chance to meet Elaine in person. As a member of her Scottish family I reconnected with her on social media, Having already met her father, Murdoc , step mother Kay, Joe, Jean and Alistair. She seemed a very nice lady and I valued out occasional messages.

Hopefully we will all meet again in another life.

I hope her family can cope in the future with this loss and have great loving memories.
