Rev. Elena: A Respected Advocate and Beloved Mentor

This is our humble way of saying thank you for your selfless service, inspiring work, and generous heart. May you watch over us as we continue to advocate for the Deaf community as lovingly as you did. 

Rest in Peace Reverend Elena "Ellen" Castillo. We shall miss you.
