My prayers go out to Butch and the family. Elayne was strong in the Lord and actively living a life worthy of honor.
When she was a young girl and my dad, Rev Coverdale was her pastor our families were one. I remember her leading the choir at the age of 16 singing; "If had not been for the Lord on my side tell me where would I be."
During my fight with cancer she brought joy to my life. Her love for God is genuine.
My children have spent this year at the MET school where they not only had "auntie Elayne" loving on them but as a guide and mentor actively participating in the pursuit of their life's passions.
I thank God for special connections we have shared and pray for the peace of the family. Elayne is truly missed

To the entire Walker-Cabral Family,
I am so sad to hear of your loss of a great woman. The life of Elayne touched many including family, friends, and in particular youth and community. I knew Elayne for many years at first during high school and then again in Community Planning Graduate school at URI and more recently working together at the MET community school. She leaves a legacy of creating healthy communities through education and social justice.
Thank you Elayne for your on-going friendship, inspiration, and love for humanity. You will forever be loved and missed.

Butch, You already know what an amazing woman, Elayne was. She still is for she has only transitioned. Her spirit lives on. She was always reaching out to give somebody a hand, and did so from the heart with grace. We all could take a page out of her book for there were many wonderful things she did. Not enough words can express how very much we will miss her. Prayerfully Yours, Bill and Valerie

Elayne was a teacher's dream--exceptionally bright, good-natured, diligent, and purposeful. Above all, Elayne was a Leader and played a pivotal role in our peer activities that made the Brotherhood Club at Classical so successful. My heart goes out to her brother, Lenny, whom I also taught, and to the entire Walker-Cabral family. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I want to send my love and prayers to Lenny, and the Walker-Cabral family. I am sad that my friend of 45 years is gone too soon. She leaves me with many fond childhood memories from camp, high school, partying and living life as best we knew how. We often would laugh at how we were finger-sucking buddies. She brought joy in the room when she entered. God is merciful, I was blessed to chat with her a few weeks ago before her transition. I will miss her as I release her but I am comforted by a trust that she is with her loved ones and God has great work for her in paradise.

Elayne, I am still in shock over your passing. I will remember the many parties in, as you would say "Your beautiful home", bowling, working together, New Years Eve and the night life. Wow, you earned your wings and leave everyone behind shocked, broken and hurting. However, in time all will remember you with many smiles and fond memories. You were definitely an angel on earth and now will be an angel in spirit. Rest easy Elayne and know that you will always be thought of and remembered.

Elayne was one in a million with a large generous heart. My sincere condolences to her family and friends on this sudden loss. There is no way to express the many ways she gave of herself to those who needed her. There are so many kids I worked with who responded to her persistence that they could be more, better, stronger, than they believed they could. Elayne was a role model for me, a friend and an inspiration.
