I worked with Elaine for several years at Hospice and Palliative care of Cape Cod. I loved watching all of her pictures of precious time she spent with her grandchildren after she left Cape cod. Elaine was a wonderful person and I know that she will be dearly missed by all of you. Please accept my sincere condolences

Elaine and I met when we were carpooling our kids to nursery school& we became fast friends. At one point we started a small business Thistle Theorems & did many craft shows. Time spent with Elaine & Bob were always the best-so many laughs! Another beautiful soul has left us- may she now be with Bob & Nancy who she missed so much
