Elena's passing leaves a hole in the heart of local activism. Her presence was always welcome and her demeanor and comportment of the highest qualities. Although we did not always agree on the issues, I always felt as if she and I were friends. Some people are just like that. And if you were lucky enough to meet her, you'd feel the same.
She will be missed.

To a truly wonderful person who has dedicated their life to helping others, even with cancer she still managed to be happy. She has really impacted this community. I'm very impressed with her work and heart.

Yes, very sad. Elena did a lot for the community, so the loss will certainly be felt by many.

Rest in Peace, Elena. It was an honor to create your website: mvdreamers.org
You will always be an inspiration to me.

Heartbreaking. Our lives only intersected a little, but Elena truly shone and had a lasting impact. She was joy and love, through and through.
I held her hand and supported her through that seizure, just before the diagnosis. I cheered through her recovery, but lost touch when I changed jobs and moved. I send my love to her friends and family.
