Lauren & family, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Elena and I worked together many times at Towers Perrin and I always enjoyed our time together. We shared a similar work ethic as well as a similar sense of humor and I truly respected her as a professional. My favorite memories will always be the time we spent together creating a grade school yearbook. Her dedication and love for you were beautiful to see. I pray that your memories soon bring smiles rather than tears.

I once new an Elena Vassallo. I'm not sure if she is the same one. Did Elena ever work for TPF&C in Philadelphia?
