Elena Nicole Gregory

Elena made us laugh every single day. She was always there to talk and listen to a friend in need. I admired her strength in her convictions and beliefs. Elena was and always will be our "everything".

One of my favorite memories of Elena was how we loved snow days when school was closed. She would wear her pajamas inside the night before for good luck, then we would go outside in the snow, bake cookies and watch TV together all day long.

I miss her hourly texts, even when we were in the house together, her radiant smile, our constant sharing of inside jokes, going out to dinner, the many mall trips right from school, nightly walks along the paths in NJ viewing the NYC skyline, weekends at the beach. I just miss her every moment of each day.

If Elena could talk to you right now, I'm sure she would want to be remembered for the old soul that she was, her easy, welcoming smile and the love and laughter she shared with so many.
