    Barbara, Lynn, and Scott,

    Sorry to hear about the passing of Elaine, sister & Mom to you. In my teenage years I remember Johnson’s Pond, Uncle Lenny’s and Aunt Blanche’s house on Tenth St. Although Elaine was a bit older than me, her and Paul interacted in many fun ways and I’ll never forget them. She was a good cousin to me, my brothers and sister and especially good to Barbara (her sister). Although I left that family for my military career and was not part of her family, I know she was a great Mom. May she always be remembered, because I will never forget.

    Lynn, Scott, & Barbara,

    I was surprised and saddened to hear of Elaine’s passing. Elaine
    gave my first job when I went back to work. She was working for George Pastore at his shop making emblems. It led to my career in accounting and her starting her own business. We had a lot of fun
    working together. She was a fun person anyway.
    Elaine loved people and she received that love back. May she Rest In Peace.

    Dear Barbara, Scott and Lynn,
    I’m very sorry to hear about your loss. I’m the grandaughter of Emanual Litowitz (later changing his name to Elliot Littelll) who was the brother of Leopold Litowiz. After my grandfather moved to Springfield Massachusetts, he lost touch with the family. If you have any interest in making contact, please respond. I completely understand if you do not. Best regards, Susan Littell
