    Little Woman with a Big Heart At first sight, Ms. Elaine Vise, stands only five feet tall, wrinkled face and calloused hands, rough skin, dark brown eyes and light brown hair; you can almost see the gray stretching out of her uncolored hair. What you would not see is struggle and hard work that put those wrinkles on her face and the callouses on her hands.
