Elaine was the type of person who was always there for you. I will never forget the wonderful meals she prepared for me while recovering from surgery. Keith like doing little project for her. She was always so funto be around. She is one of the sweetest people we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We will miss you , Elaine.

It is hard to categorize the many ways Elaine touched my life: friend, boss, godmother of my son Byron, neighbor, advisor...well, just so many ways. What I can sincerely relate is with Elaine as a friend, my life changed. Her way was/is to touch people and care for them. Love you, Elaine.

Elaine was both a client and a friend. I had such great respect for her in both roles! She put her heart and muscle into helping Texas Health grow. She was also a mentor to me and to others. At pivotal points in my life she gave me good counsel. I´ll appreciate her for the rest of my life.

I'm sure that Elaine is starting a Dining Diva chapter North. I talked to her a few hours before the ambulance was called. She was in great mood and asked, "What can I do for you?" Typical of Elaine. She was a great friend to both Alva and me. I will miss her terribly. Karen Cage
