Hi,
I'm really sorry for the loss of your daughter. I was in the Jax airport the same day heading to NJ. The flight was delayed due to bad weather in NJ. She sat across from me on the Newark bound flight. I remember when the plane landed she made a call to a family member and said she is delayed due to bad weather. She really seemed excited to go home. My son works at Newark for Continental. That morning my son called me and told me what happened. When i saw the news they said there was only 1 person fron Jacksonville on that flight, then they showed her picture. I was devastated. I couldn't believe i just saw her a few hours ago. To the Kausner family, please accept my devoted sympathy for your loss of your daughter. A friend Dean Juman

Ode: Intimations of Immortality by William Wordsworth
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God who is our home.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
Elly I'll keep you locked in my head until we meet again.......

I miss Elly more then words can say. We have been friends since the day she was born and could list thousands of memories. She lived every moment to the fullest and wanted everyones dreams to come true. She's an inspiration to countless people and we'll never forget her smiles, laughter and songs.

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am a diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
May Elley's spirit become your power to go on!!

Dear John and Marilyn,
You may not remember me, but I spent some time at your house while I was on staff with Youth For Christ. Your house was always a blessing to me -- I remember your "kids" running in and out of the house going to all these activities. You have a beautiful family, I know Ellyce will be missed, but she is in the arms of our precious Lord and Saviour.
This verse reminds me of those days and your precious family:
"We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance..." (I Thessalonians 1:2-5a)
You will be in our prayers. May God continue to bless you as we know He will!

Heaven must have needed a special angel with her expertise.
Hope that Elly was taking a lil nap when this happened and she was not aware. I worked with the 4 Northrop Grumman men and I am devastated that all these fine men and women have left us. They are in a better place probably working just as hard, if not harder. May you find peace in your own way.
RIP, Ellyce Kausner.

Dear Kausner Family:
I cannot begin to explain how sorry I am for your loss. Elly was the kind of girl who stood out because she had that vibrant and outgoing personality. She always had something to say. I had the pleasure of being childhood friends with her & sharing our birthday together, although we grew apart a bit as we entered high school. I also had the pleasure to cheer with her throughout middle school and high school. As i said, we may have parted in our high school years, but i miss her & will forever cherish those memories & i wish i could go back and make more. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May Elly be at Peace.

To the Kausner Family I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Elly since Elementary through High school and she was a kind and fun person. I didnt know her well but she was always nice to me. I remeber playing basketball in gym one time and we were really geting into it and I went and jumped to make a shot when she tried to steal the ball and accidently knocked her to the floor. I was so scared but she got up like it wasnt anything and wanted to keep playing and just laughed. All of us who attended school with her will miss her deeply. Elly you left us way to soon and will be missed. May you rest in Peace

To Elly's family and friends I send my sympathy to you. I am touched by your tragedy and the others. The night of the crash I remember seeing Chris on the news; he appeared calm yet frantic- my only thought was that I hope he finds his sister. Unforunately that didn't happen. The next morning I felt really sad for you guys, knowing that she wasn't coming back. My prayers are with you and just celebrate the 24 years of laughter that she gave you.- May God Bless Everyone

Dear Kausner Family,
I am so deeply sorry for your loss of Elly. We went all through school in Clarence together, and I want you to know that her light and laughter will carry on. Elly had a wonderful sense of humor (to this day my favorite joke is one I learned from her) and infectious energy. She is never one to be forgotten. Again, I am so sorry, and I hope that she is resting peacefully, knowing that she touched the lives of many.

I am so sorry for your loss. May God be with all of you at this most defficult time. Please know you are a wonderful family.
