I miss you Elyse

Alyce was one of the dearest people we ever met. She had a wry sense of humor and a giving spirit. She will always be in our hearts.

You don't have to believe in angels to accept what they offer. This is the angel of strength and courage. May she bestow her best on Elyse and all who love her.

Literary genius, Maya Angelou, once said, "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

Though I only know Elyse through her sister Kari, I cannot imagine another woman fitting this description better than she.

May her courage live on in those who must live without her.

Hugs, Love & Positive Energy

My thoughts are with you and your family. I know this is a big hurdle in life for you all. She was very, very lucky to know she had such a caring and loving family around her...

Stan,
You and Elyse have been genuine friends to me for quite a few years now. I am so sorry to you, Jeff and Allison, and everyone whoever felt the warmth and gentle kindness of spirit that Elyse carried with her. I have fond memories Elyse, and I'm honored to have experienced her strong and engaging presence as well as the incredible cloud of empathy and understanding that seemed to flow from her. I have great admiration and respect for her, and you, and I will think of Elyse often during my time on this planet. I truly miss her.

Dear Stan,

I will always remember the great times I had with you and Elyse during the ski trip to Vermont and at the Smiths'. Your wife had an inner spirit like few I've encountered in my life. I am sorry for your loss. I am greatful that I knew you both. God bless you. As always, looking forward to seeing you at Smitty's house.

Best Regards,

Jeff and Jane Karch

I am very sad to hear of Elyse's passing. I am the sister of Suzanne Smith and even though I didn't know Elyse well I heard about her a lot over the last 30 yrs through my sister. I also met Elyse many times, many years ago when Suzanne and Tim lived in Balston Spa. I know Elyse was a very fun and dear person. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and I know she is in a much better place.

Dear Stan,

We have never met but Jeff has often spoken endearingly of you and your wife, Elyse. Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. I know how terribly difficult times like this can be. Jeff described his mother as having an incredible amount of strength throughout her illness and an inspiration to you all. Please take that strength and let it help guide you and your family into the future.

Again, wishing you and your family my sincerest condolences.

Sincerely,

Sven

Dear Stan, Jeff & Allison & Family: My deepest condolences.I first met Elyse through her sister Kari when I was about 11 years old. . Elyse never acted like the big sister. She always had an easy going, pleasant personality. She was so much fun to be around. Elyse always took a genuine interest in whatever you liked, even if she had no clue what you were talking about. She will be missed.

My mind fills with wonderful memories of the Levine family, and of the first woman carpenter I ever knew! I was honored to have helped her on one of her projects..and heaven help me if I didn't hold the sheet rock tightly! What wonderful work she did, and what wonderful memories she has left in the hearts and minds of so many people.

Let us all possess the strength she has shown in her fight, and honor her by embracing each minute, understanding how fragile life is.

My prayers are with those you have left behind.

Love,

Dear Stan,

My heart goes out to you and your family. I know that you, Jeff and Allison will be there for each other during this time but I am also available anytime you need to talk. Elyse was one of a kind, tough and determined and a very kind lady! I can't believe how much she helped me when she was going through her own pain. She will be greatly missed by many!

My dearest friend Elyse,

You left us all much too soon. We were so lucky and blessed to call you Friend. Always thoughful, always thinking of others and remembering so many little things about us all that demonstrated your love, true caring, and natural ability to listen and to really know. We looked up to you as an ideal --- which was not fair to you, yet your spirit and love would never disappoint us. Your insight and wisdom were cherished and appreciated, always loving and softly delivered. Thank you for all you gave, and you gave us all so very much. Now you'll watch over your wonderful family, and help us go on in the spirit of your memory.

Much love forever, Jean

To our dear friends Stan, Jeff, Allison,

Words just cannot express our sorrow for your tremedous loss. Elyse was everyone's favorite and more. For all her talents, skills, and artistry, Elyse was proudest of her family, and rightly so. Our hearts are heavy for you now, but we hope the outpouring of love from everyone will help you as we remember how wonderful she made our lives.

Much love always,

Jennifer Sinatra Mac Neil

My family. What can I say. Life will not be the same without Aunt Elyse. One of the most wonderful, kind hearted, caring women anyone can ever know. I already miss her tremendously.

She'll get to see my mother (her sister) again in heaven. They'll be so happy to be reunited. I guess heaven needed another carpenter.

Dear Stan, Jeff and Allison:

Please accept my deepest sympathy. How blessed you all were to have Elyse as your wife and mother.

Elyse incorporated kindness, love and strength into a wonderful personality. I, for one, admired her. I was lucky to have spent time with her to see all of these traits.

Please know that you are in my prayers.

Take care.

The Levine Family,
The most wonderful gift was getting to know Elyse, many years ago. Elyse was like a second Mother to me and always made me feel welcome in her home. I will always remember having such beautiful long talks and feeling her wisdom. I will forever remember this great person. Heaven has a new Angel.

Memories! So many I carry in my heart. There are the literal "taking time to smell the roses" lessons we demonstrated to our kids...the berry picking on the nature trail behind our house and the berries she just would NOT eat because of the "You have to buy them in a store" belief this country girl tried so hard to break with my Elyse, the New York Brooklyn City girl who taught me "Stoop Ball."

There is the sharing of religious holidays for our kids that we planned each year and cherished as Life's important times. The wooden tool boxes she made my boys and the match box- hand made by Elyse "Brooklyn Bridges" I still have and will hold dear forever. I learned a whole new vocabulary from Elyse- Shtick, Chachala, Stoop Ball, Elyse-a-la eat your egg-a-la." The motorcycle rides with our hubbies where we felt free as the wind on "Stanley Levine Drive." So many memories such happy times I shared and hold as life's treasures. I am so happy I got to hug and kiss my friend 10 days ago. Larry Lamb and Lellow chews (shoes) are forever engraved in my heart and mind.

Dear Stan, Jeff and Allison,
I was so terribly saddened to hear about Elyse. She was a strong, gracious, lovely person and friend who did not deserve to suffer. My thoughts go out to you all during this sad time. I will always remember Elyse lovingly. She had a wonderful sense of humor, kindness and an intuitive knack for telling it like it was. She was very special and I will always miss her.
