Elyce was my middle and high school sponsor at Eastside Prep. She was generous, kind, and considerate. She had a huge heart and I´ll forever be grateful for her generosity.

Elyce was a valued and loved member of my book club. She was elegant, intelligent, and as a fellow former English teacher, I treasured her literary insights. She will be missed.
