    Mrs.Silinski was a permanent pillar in my daughters pre-k classroom. She was always willing to lend a hand especially on field trips. Who would have thought that she would show up at my daughters high school graduation.....A beautiful person inside and out. She will definitely be missed

    So very sorry for your loss Diane. I know what a wonderful mother and Grammy she was to everyone she knew or touched. I remember all the times she visited your classrooms at Turner and Kelly including Read Across America. My sincere condolences to you and your family. She's sat peace and pain free. All my love, Linda Yorkshire

    I have many wonderful memories of Elaine...such a joyful, kind woman full of grace, but with the best "funny bone". Trying to teach her how to use video on FB was one of those memories. She has always been an inspiration to me as a mother, grandmother and friend.
