Elaine Cannon: Our national Lambda Delta Sigma sisters have listened to every word you've spoken as you sat "at the head of our table." You have been in our hearts and minds for so very many years.
Our lives have been enriched in countless ways. You have taught, tutored, and loved us. You told us you were dying, but we would not believe you. You had been very ill before but somehow pulled through. As usual, you were right.
Today we witnessed your beautiful memorial service with all there who love you and will truly feel the empty place "at the head of the table." The farewell note you wrote to us, "I do not take this lightly; rather — at such a time as this when a life transfer for me has been declared — I am full of joy. I love you."
Elaine, you taught us well. We will leave a "place at the head of the table."
