Dear Galgano family,
I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Elaine for years and have many happy memories of her. Elaine, Wynie and I traveled to the Poconos many times. I will never forget her love for Music. One night as we watched a sunset, she broke out into a rendition of "That Ole Black Magic" with all her heart and soul. She had quite a beautiful smile and I will remember that most about her.
