Elaine Hoffman

Dear Arthur,
Jennifer told me this morning about Elaine's death, and I was so saddened to learn this news. What an outstanding person she was!! Although we didn't know her well at all, I now know how much she contributed her energy to so many worthwhile causes. I'm so glad the two of you had met, and spent some lovely years together. Please know that Bob and I are thinking about you at this very sad time.
Sending abundant love,
Dale and Bob

With her vibrant spirit, warm-hearted nature and passionate social convictions, Elaine was truly an inspiring role model for...
