Elaine Lloyd was born in Manchester, into a loving family with three siblings; Ken, Debbie, and Christine, and a poodle, Skippy. She had a happy childhood except for natural, occasional rows with her siblings. Elaine is a happy, pleasant person with a sunny outlook on life with a tendency to play the "dizzy blond", but she never wanted to change. Her parents provided a happy environment in which their children could feel, and were, safe. Oddly, Elaine first saw her husband-to-be, Neil, at Conway, when she was only ten years old and she told her Mum then that she would marry him one day ... and she did! So, having made such a prediction, you will not be surprised to discover that from an early age she revealed other amazing attributes. She could see, hear and speak to those in the spirit world... and it didn't frighten her, she felt at peace and blessed. It seemed to Elaine, that these events were normal. At that point in her life, she had not realised that her "gifts" were not present in all people. She could hear the angels, talk to them, see and feel their presence. She and her husband were immensely happy, with the occasional blip that occurs in all relationships. They both worked hard and were able to provide their family with a happy home and lots of love, However, one dark day, Neil was suddenly taken ill and was rushed to hospital coughing up blood. All four of this happy family suffered a dreadful time, that changed their lives for ever.
