I just heard of Elaine's passing from a mutual friend and want to extend my deepest sympathy to her family and friends. I worked with Elaine at the VA 20 years ago. She was a delightful lady and was very professional in her dealings with staff and patients. We had a lot of fun working together and I never forgot her. May God bless and comfort you during this difficult time.
