Dedicated to the memory of Elaine Mann

This page is a tribute to my wife, soulmate and fellow author, Elaine Mann (who wrote under the penname Elly Grant). We have been a couple, together for 51 years and married for 46.
 
She was an inspiration to many as she successfully fought cancer for 17 years, maintaining a high quality of life until her final weeks.
Nothing pleased Elly more than helping other people. Her courageousness in dealing with her own health issues was empowering to others and she was always happy to offer help and support to those in need.
 
Beyond this, she supported many to succeed in business or as writers or just dealing with their day to day issues and there are countless people who loved her and benefited from her wisdom.
 
A number of writers are published authors thanks to her help and support. I am one of them. Her creative writing skills were exceptional, exemplified in her 13 published books.
 
She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and nothing meant more to her than her family.
