Laura and Matt, I remember your mom well from when she was a teachers aide at Rainbow. She was such a gentle and kind soul and always treated everyone as if they were family. My husband had your mom do a poem in calligraphy for me as a surprise and almost 30 years later it still hangs on my wall. May she Rest In Peace and may you find comfort in your wonderful memories you share with her.

Remembering Elise
I am so very sorry to hear of Elise’s passing, and wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Elise’s beloved family & friends. Although they weren’t many, I will always cherish the times I got to spend with her and enjoy her joyous spirit. From my first memory of Elise - that of her beautiful senior picture that graced the piano of her parents home, and throughout the past 40 years, I’m forever grateful to not only be included within her family but lovingly embraced by them when my father married her youngest sister, Jamie. Elise’s warm spirit, loving heart and artistic soul will be missed, although I have no doubt she’s making heaven more beautiful than anyone can imagine. With Love & Prayers, Lynn Marie

Sending our sympathy and aloha
Bob, we heard about Elise from Ed Seiwell. Although it's been half a century since we've seen each other, and although we live 5,000 miles away now, we wanted to express our sorrow at your loss after having been together for so long and send our aloha. Hang in there, brother.
