Sharing your sorrow in the loss of your loved one. We always had so much fun together when Elaine, Stanley and Bob came to visit us in CT and when we visited there in Hendersonville. She always had such a positive attitude. We will always cherish the memories. Love and peace to you all.

Dear Staton Family: I was saddened to learn of Elaine's passing. She was a dear friend and I loved to visit her at the Curb Market. She was very proud of her family, and it was always evident her love for the Lord. May God bless you as walk these steps without her here on earth. Heaven continues to get sweeter all the time. May God's peace and love be with you especially now. Love to you all, Debbie

I'm stunned at Elaine's passing, such a loss for the Curb Market and for all the family and friends who love and appreciate her caring and fun personality. Her life blessed others in a mighty way, and she'll be sorely missed. Prayers for the family as you take comfort knowing she's with her dear husband in the presence of our wonderful Lord Jesus.

I just met Elaine back in September and became friends. She was a big part of a support group for our family during the last several months. I will always remember enjoying her cakes this past Christmas Season. I shared them as far as five hours away!

My heart is so broken. Elaine was the kindest, sweetest person in the world. I won't be able to go to the Curb Mrkt for awhile, it will just be to sad to not see her and talk to her. Elaine prayed so many times with me for my daughter when she was sick with cancer and for my best friend to who had a brain tumor. Heaven has another Angel, she was such a wonderful example as a Christian . Her faith made you want to know Jesus...thank you sweet Elaine...see you again one day. My prayers for her family as I know they will miss her.

Elaine will be greatly missed on this earth but I know she is happier than she has been in a while now as she strolls the streets of heaven holding hands with her beloved Stanley. Our prayers are with the family as we pray for God's comfort at this time.

My heart is heavy with the loss of this beautiful soul. I met her when I cared for her mother at Cherry Springs. She will be sorely missed but Heaven is much brighter

We were very saddened by the loss of Elaine. She was extremely helpful to us at the Curb Market looking after our Daybreak Lions' broom sales. I will miss her smiling face and always happy greeting. Wishing her family a better New Year. Warren Halper, President Hendersonville Daybreak Lions Club
