I was deeply saddened by the news of Elaine Lass passing. I was an AFS student in Clinton in 1975/76 in Zimmerman's family when I met her. She was attentive, friendly, cordial and always ready to help. She would be always in my heart and in my mind. My sincere condolences to Lanie.

I was among the many children entrusted to Mrs Lass' care many years ago and have fond memories of her. Lanie and I attended high school together and so wish to pass onto her my deepest sympathy.

My family lived next door to the Lass's for many years. Elaine would remark that we were the Lass's and the Less's. She always made us feel we were friends with her family. Elaine left a remarkable legacy and touched, in a very positive way, the lives of her family and many others. I'm very thankful to have known her. My sincere condolences to Lanie on the loss of her mom.
Elaine Lass was a wonderfully involved leader in our community. My condolences go out to Lanie and the family. Elaine was a tribute to citizenship and helping others. Recently she sent me a fine historical book. She was always thinking of others and how to assist them in some way. We will all miss Elaine and her love for others. Sadly, I will be Iowa City tomorrow, but my mind and prayers will be with Elaine Lass.
We lived next door to Mrs. Lass for a few years. I was able to help her with her children for a short time. She was always so kind. We extend our sympathies to Lannie.

Lanie, our sincerest condolences on the death of your mother. She certainly engaged in and gave of herself to the community in a big way. She truly made a difference! I got to know her shortly after coming to Clinton in the early 70's...such an energetic person. Clinton wil miss her.
Elaine was a dear Lady and wonderful Friend. Blessings to the family.

Elaine, wife of my father's second cousin was such a kind and loving person when our family visited many years ago. Such a happy time as she took the time to show us around the area, cook for us,--all to make our stay memorable. For years we have shared our good and bad news, and I always looked forward to cards from her and Lani each holiday. She had a gift for making everyone seem special, and was always interested in what was happening in their lives. She will be missed by so many. I am sending my love and wishes for the peace happy memories bring. Love from Sharon Lass Field.
I remember when I had my first little show at the Clinton Art Association Gallery and Elaine was there to support me. She was always interested in my studio work and had inspirational comments whenever I saw her. Lanie, please know you are in my prayers at this most difficult time.
