It was a privilege to work so closely with Elaine for many years. She was a truly lovely and talented lady who cared deeply about the children at Bishop's Hull School as individuals, She gave them her time, patience, skill and warmth and always had an encouraging word for everyone. The staff really appreciated her hosting those beautiful end-of-year afternoon teas at her home. She was great at entertaining. Sending my deepest sympathy to Al, Jacqui and Alan. She was so proud of you all.
