Dearest Aunt Lainey,

Rest In Peace Lainey,
Love you bunches,
Lin darlin and the Wilamowski clan❤️
So sorry to hear about your mom, Angela. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Dear Mr. P. and Angela,
I am terribly saddened to learn of the loss of Ms P. My childhood had many bright moments because of her! I remember her cooking every Sunday evening. I remember her stressing over ever detail to make sure Ange and I had everything we needed. I LOVED spending time at your house! I remember her teaching Sunday School and VBS. I fondly remember the time that we made our own stationary with white paper and envelopes and lots of different stamps. Ms. P. will always be so special to me. I can hear her voice calling, “Gigi” the cat. Please know how much you are both loved and cared for by me. I wish I could be there with you now but my health is not able to at this point in time. I love you both and will always love Ms. P. !
Aunt Elaine,
I am so sorry I won’t be able to say my goodbyes in person, but please know how incredibly missed you will be. I have so many memories with you and appreciate you always loving me! Christmas at Lainey’s was the best growing up and all of our VBS days! Rest in Peace in the arms of Jesus. Please give Grandma a hug and kiss from me! I love you, Aunt Elaine. 💞🙏
That Elaine has left us is, for me, such a difficult reality to process. I had fully expected her to recover and I think that was her expectation as well. Her loss leaves such a hole in my heart. She was my aunt who played an outsized role after the passing of my own mother, and in this she was the epitome of unconditional love. You knew that wherever you were, whatever the circumstances, you always had a place to come to in Pittsburgh.
The city itself had no greater patron, no greater cheerleader than Elaine. She loved Pittsburgh and everything about Pittsburgh: the Point, the Cathedral of Learning, Primanti’s, Aliquippa, the steel mills, pierogis and on and on and on. Herself half-Croatian, half-Serbian, she embraced the ethnic diversity of the region. When it came to sports, the nuances of individual sports might at times have escaped her, but just mention the Steelers, the Bucs, Pitt, the Pens or any other local team and she was Black-and-Gold personified. She didn’t know the balk rule, but she knew Maz. She didn’t know what a go-route was, but she knew the Immaculate Reception. She didn’t speak Spanish, but she knew about Clemente and cherished what he meant to the city.
How I will miss her! She was a gift, a continual source of joy and love and happiness in my life. She looms large in my very earliest memories, and she will be in my last thoughts. She loved and never hesitated in expressing her love, to me or to anyone else. I consider myself so very fortunate, so privileged, to have had her as my aunt.
