Juanita, Jim and Patrick, my heart hurts for you. Elaine was truly an angel on earth. She is missed.

- Betty Walden, Savannah, Georgia

It was with great sadness that I read of Elaine’s passing. I have many memories of my time as a first time principal, working with Elaine. I know how she struggled with many of my decisions in the beginning, but I always knew that whatever actions she took or words she spoke, that she did so with the best interest of your son and the students at heart. I had tremendous admiration for Elaine. She was an extraordinary teacher. I never walked into her classroom to find anything but the best instruction taking place. I could always depend on her calm demeanor, and positive attitude. I also knew that if something was asked of her it would be done and done well. She was truly a gift to all of the children she taught. May God be with you and comfort you in your loss and may you always feel her presence with you and feel comfort knowing she is in a better place.

Even though Elaine's ky family is so far you are in our prayers and constant thoughts through these days. Even as a little girl Elaine was always finding ways to make life easier for each of her family members. She was certainly one of God's angels. She lived life to the fullest and did God's work daily. Heaven is joyful to have her home now. She has left a legacy that is a challenge for us to follow, yet we must try. That's what she would want.

Jim, I first met Elaine last year in the halls of Coastal Middle School. She was bubbly, outgoing and struck up a conversation as though we had known each other for years.

Mrs. Glenn was one of the greatest teachers I had in school, she went beyond the limits of teaching. She encouraged, lead by example and pushed me to my limits. She encouraged me to pursue my medical career. She will be missed but not forgotten. I’ll be praying for you.

So sad to hear of Elaine’s passing. We all thought so much of her. She was so sweet, kind and helpful. So many memories of the camp outs with the cub scouts. We were so grateful for her helping Max at coastal middle school. She was a great person to know and a wonderful wife mother and teacher. The world needs more people like Elaine in it.
