    To Ed, Ailia, Milo and extended family. I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Elena’s death and want to extend my deepest sympathies. Not having her smile, strength and humor is such a loss to the world. Elena was one of my closest friends from junior high through college. I treasure my memories of her as I do the glass she made for me to stomp on at my wedding and the piggy banks she made for each of my children. You have my sincere wish for eventual peace and comfort.
