My condolences to Elaine's family who she always talked so fondly about. I was privileged to work with Elaine when she was first the Assistant Director and then the Director of Nursing at Taunton State Hospital when I was then the COO. She was caring, competent, a strong staff and patient advocate and was one of the hardest working people I know. I feel blessed that I knew her not only as a colleague but as a friend.
