Bon Voyage,
I know you saved your fork, because he saved the best for last. Your time on earth was just a short time, to prepare you for what has come to pass.
For all the mustard sandwiches you made, for the love you gave, the person that you were. I will miss you.
And look forward to seeing you again one day.

We all loved Elise so much. As children Elise was our very own nanny. She even went to Lake Placid with us...with Maggie... Elise always attended our birthday's, graduations and many other special occasions. A true part of the family. We will always cherrish those special times and know in our hearts that we were truly blessed to have Elise in our lives.

Elise, we will never forget you and the good times we had. We are so thankful that we had the privilege of being with you and nursing you back to health the first time, sorry it didn't happen this time. But we know you were suffering and it was time you went home to the Lord so you could once again be with Cal, your beloved husband, and our friend. You were the sister that I, Priscilla, never had, thank you.

To Elise's family:
Elise was one of the loviest women I ever had the pleasure of meeting and knowing over the years. My husband, Owen Kerns, grew up in Bennettsburg across the road from Elise & Walter. She used to say he was responsible for most of her gray hairs - watching him play 'in' the road, etc. I've ALWAYS enjoyed visiting with her and seeing her over the years. My thoughts & prayers are with you - she is now with her beloved husband.
