Dear Elise miss you God bless you

Elise,
I only met you once at Valerie's birthday party.but I could see what a warm and wonderful person that you are. I know that you still are... Wonderful and now in the arms of God. I know you will be greatly missed here on earth. Rest in peace dear.

My condolences to Elise's brother. Elise was my sister's friend (Valerie). What I remember from Elise is that she was a gifted photographer, loved WDC, was an intelligent and interesting person. She loved talking to my french mother and wanting to know about the french culture. Though I did not get to see Elise often when I did get together with her and my sister we always had a nice time and lots of interesting conversations. May she rest in peace now. Her suffering is over.

Beautiful sweet smile, Elise is a close cousin that leaves in our hearts. Stephanie and I were remembering when Elise visited us all in Brazil. We met at my parents' house and had the chance to spend time together. It was a great moment to show Sao Paulo and catch up. We talked about many things including living in Brazil compared to other places discussed the pros and cons, how our family was spread in different countries with mixed cultures. Despite differences and distance we felt close to...

My dear Elise. I will miss you greatly. I have such fond memories of fun times in D.C. and Florida. Thank you for your smile and your huge heart, my friend.
My thoughts are with you, Bruce.

Dear Bruce, Jimmy and Pilar,
Our dearest Elise now rests in peace after a long time of suffering.
I knew Elise since she was born. She was a lovely little baby, sometimes when I spent a weekend with your parents I even changed her diapers and tried to sing lullabies so she wouldn´t cry. She then would smile, probably at my accent.
As time passed and we moved to different places of the world, we saw her occassionaly. She visited us in Brazil a couple of times, I believe once with...

So sorry for our loss.Elise was a wonderful cousin and a a lovely lady.
I'll never forget when we travelled together to meet Pilar .
May God bless her
