Elaine D. de Araujo

Giovanni and Family,
Mike and I are deeply saddened by the passing of your mom. Elaine was a wonderful, generous woman and she meant a great deal to us. We appreciate all that she has done for us over the years and will miss her very much. She was not just our friend, more importantly; she was part of our family. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May you rest in peace Elaine.. we love you!

Elaine and I were high school friends Burncoat HS and we realized that we had met years earlier. We were fast friends for a few years and then, as it often happens, lives go in different directions and you lose touch. We would run into each often over the years--either at a ball field, grocery store, somewhere in the Greendale area---would hug and chat for a long time. I always had a soft spot in my heart for Elaine and my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Mrs. D, I don't think I would be the person I am today without you. I can't believe you're gone. :o( My sympathies are with G and the rest of your family.

my daughter was student of hers a harlow srteet school. She was a great at that school and when she walked into a room the kids would settle down in a instant. It was amazing. My daughter transferred to another school and she would ask how she was when would see her. She will be sadly miss by her students and all the lifes she has touched. Rest In Peace

I am so sorry - I was a health care provider for Elaine for many years and enjoyed interacting with her. I know she was wonderful at her job--and that her family was the light of her life. We will miss her.

Mrs.D was loved and respected by all who she touched at Harlow Street School. Not only the school but the neighborhood. May you rest in Peace

Auntie Elanie, The best memory I have of her was.....trying to get her to give me "the look". You said I wouldn't want to see it because I wouldn't be able to recover from it. I always wanted to see if i could of taken it. I know Ryan definetly got the look from you plenty times. I'm glad I didn't disappoint you enough for you to give me "the look".But i miss the ice cream, candy, and company you gave Ryan, Adilson, and I. You were a great friend of Hamelot and of me. Miss you already, glad...

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Mark Hamel introduced us to Elaine almost ten years ago and we looked forward to our visits to the trailer park at the Cape. We had many a great time on the deck and at the beach! Elaine will be truly missed.

Auntie Elaine was such a kind, funny and outspoken person. I remember the many laughs and candy we shared at the Cape or even the time she taught me how to float even though I was deathly afraid to. I like to...

I was the School Nurse at Harlow St. School for a few years with Elaine. She was a very efficient yet very caring Principal. I enjoyed working with her. I often sat behind her at Our Lady of the Rosary Church at 7AM Mass during Lent. Her faith was very strong.
The Worcester Public School System has lost a great advocate for children.

Sincerely,

Rosemary Foley R.N.
