" Elaine’s reliable and sincerely caring presence made all the difference for me at a time when I needed it the most. Her work with me actually reminds me of the stalwart care nurses gave to me the two times in which I was in the hospital. When I was at my weakest, feeling like I had absolutely nothing left to continue towards healing, those nurses – and Elaine – were in my face with caring, steely eyes refuting my feelings and saying, “candi, yes – you can.”
