I’m so very sorry to hear about your mother, Ron. I know Janet cared for her deeply. We’re all thinking of you and your family. Sincerely, Linda.
So sad to loose such a loving lady, I believe she gave something special to all that knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rick & Ann
I remember growing up on 2nd avenue. I knew Elaine was deeply religious. She was one of the closest I have come to an angel. Elaine will be with the Lord Jesus Christ in the after life. Growing up with the family was a joy. One of my favorite families in our neighborhood. Time to rest Elaine. You did all you could do in this material world.
My aunt Elaine will be greatly missed. I remember when I lived in Fargo, I would go to First Assembly of God Church and Elaine would be there. I enjoyed visiting with her. She was a wonderful woman of God. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy, Randy, Ronald, and Diane and their spouses and her grandchildren and great grandchildren. I’m sorry that I won’t be able to be with all of you, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Life will not be the same without Elaine. God Bless all of you at this most difficult time. I love all of you. Janet (Reitan)Patterson
Sympathy to All of Elaine’s family.
Elaine is at her eternal home with Jesus her Savior who was with her every day on earth.
Nearly 45 years ago we came to know each other through her son Ron and my daughter Janet. I fondly remember her coming to the lake where we shared many conversations while sitting in the sun or out on the pontoon skippered by Captain Ron. She was a very sweet and endearing lady always with a ready smile. A
wonderful mother and mother in law to Janet. She will be missed
Ron and Janet. Gene and I are so sorry to hear about your mom. We will be praying for your family as you grieve her loss.

Dear Nancy, Ron, Diane, Randy and families,
Thinking of you today as you say your last goodbyes to your dear Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. I’ll always have fond memories of Aunt Elaine (sister of my mother, Lucille) as an angel 😇 on Earth too! Know that there’s comfort in knowing that she’s at peace with the Lord in heaven.
With Love and Prayers,
Paula, Tim, and family
I was on the Aglow board and really loved that “Woman of God”
We were all fortunate to have Elaine in our lives for as long as we did, and she will be dearly missed. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out.
