Posted on: Tuesday, June 17, 2014Our deepest sympathy to Elaine and family on the loss of a Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt, and family patriarch. Always a classy lady, always happy to see everyone and so full of laughter. She will be sorely missed by all the Gross’s and extended Gross family.
