To the Armstrong family: I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't have the opportunity to know Elise for as long as I would have liked to, but I am so lucky to have known her for a little while. Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and that's why they're here. . . you'll have that gift forever. Elise was such a blessing to me and I know she is singing with the angels....I will never forget her
