I didn't know Elaine, but we always shared a smile, she had such a lovely smile. I do know she was a very special person to many and her death was a great loss to the community (see article). When Nancy and I saw the post office bench (dedicated to her ) looking a bit worn we wanted to decorate it with knit graffiti.
I like to think that she would have appreciated this and enjoyed it.
(we are getting ready to replace it with some new knitted/felt pieces late spring).
