Aunt Elise was very special to our entire family. We named our second daughter after her. Her loving nature would light up the room. Aunt Elise was the classic example of a true lady. She showed a genuine interest in all who knew her. We will miss her with all our hearts! We are deeply saddened and pray for the entire family. Heaven is a whole lot brighter place with her presence. God bless!

Aunt Elise was such a sweet and loving person. The kids will always remember her as "the sister that made the sugar cookies". I will always remember her as an amazingly sweet and genuine aunt-in-law, whose smile always brightened a room. She was a blessing in my life and I will miss her. May you rest in peace, Aunt Elise
