    Our sympathy to John and the Croken Family. I worked with Elaine at St. Patrick's School and her presence made working there fun! She always had a smile and a laugh for everyone and she lived being in on staff pranks. When I left St. Pat's we still met up at the Legion for "tea" on pay days where a lot of good memories were made. Rest in Peace, Elaine!!
