Elaine is survived by her husband of 61 years Benno, children Gary (Jodie) of St. Cloud, Mary Lou (Jay) Landowski of Winona, Lori (Lowell) Frerich of Cold Spring and Greg (Carrie) of St. Augusta, 8 grandchildren: Ben, Katie, Joe, Wes, Colt, Gavin, Grayson, and Griffin, 9 great grandchildren: Carter, Grace, Jennings, Gus, Jaydan, Brooks, Sophie, Sadie, and Emmie Elaine,  brother Edward (Alice) Burggraff, Jr. of Little Falls and sister Alma Popp of Rice.

So sorry for your loss. I wish I could have talked to her one more time.Elaine is the sweetest lady and she can make you feel her warmth inside. I am so glad I that I knew her. I will remember the last words she said to me not so long ago. Prayers to you and the family. A donation of things will be sent to quiet oaks in her name.

To you the family you have our deepest symphaty . I can remember when that got married out at the farm I was quite young. I remover at the farm she would play her a cordon and my dad Arnold would play his harmonica. Great memories

Please accept my condolences. It is a very sad/emotional time when our love ones sleep in death. I hope you find comfort in the words found in John 5:28-29 and look forward to the day where we can hug our loved ones again. This is a promise from the God that does not lie and that promises to wipe all tears of pain Revelation 21:3-4. For more comforting thoughts, please visit www.jw.org.

It is hard to imagine that a person so full of life, love and joy is no longer with us to spread her virtues. Rest in peace Elaine !!! To the entire Gall family, many thoughts and prayers coming your way.

Iam so sorry for your loss.
