Our condolences and prayers to the entire family. Your parents were always amazing and warm people. Our families connected not only as friends and classmates in high school but also through our mother's connections as good friends and members of the book club together. I don't doubt that Florence and Elise are busy organizing a new club together right now.

Not having met Elise all I can say is that she gave birth to a daughter (Martha)who has turned out exceptionally well.

Elise was my neighbor across the street. I am saddened by her passing. She was such a wonderful lady and always had a smile for my son William, my husband Rob and myself. I will miss her waving at me when I would walk by and her friendly conversation. Rest in Peace Elise.

John, Marty and Mark,
I'm so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. The last time I saw her was several years ago when my Mom was visiting and we met your Mom and Marion B for lunch and shopping in Oakbrook. Your Mom and I bought the same outfit! I know that my Mom treasured their friendship, and Elise will be greatly missed. Sending my deepest condolences to your family.

So sorry for your loss. Mom and Mrs. Kabbes were good friends for such a very long time. Our lives were full of stories about Harry and Elise.
It was so kind of her to visit us at Tewes when Mom died in April. I wish we could return the favor.
Rest in peace Mrs. Kabbes.
With the greatest affection,
Sarah Novak and family

I met Elise in her later years and saw her as elegant, cordial and welcoming. That legacy continues in the extended family who are equally elegant, cordial, and welcoming. May these last few days be filled with pleasant memories of Elise and the gifts she leaves in her family. My heart is with you as you prepare for the departure.
