I am so sorry for your loss. Words won't take away the sting. But know that my heart is with you. I was lucky enough to have Elise take care of me before and after one of my procedures at Surgery One.

My deepest sympathies for this family. I didn't have the opportunity to meet Elise, however I did know her dad from employment at Peyton Northern for 17 years, so I know she had to be a great person. I hear great things about her and I see how much beauty she has radiated to everyone in her life just from all of the pictures I have seen. My heart goes out to all of you. I will also be praying for peace and comfort.

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
- Irish blessing

I give you this one thought to keep--
I am with you still, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone--
I am with you still, in each new dawn.
-Native American Prayer
Elise was a gentle and joyous spirit and I always remember her with a smile. I share your deep sadness, there are no words to express the depth of our loss. She is most certainly an angel and is with God. May you know that we all are surrounding you with our love and prayers. Love to you all.

My deepest sympathy for ur family Doug and for Elise's. Never met her but ur family I know. Keeping all ur family in our thoughts. Whenever u feel low and miss Elise, look at that little boy u guys created, this will ease the pain a little. Little babies cure a lot of wounds because they are so innocent.

What a great loss to our world. She was a great kid. My prayers go out to her family.

October 28, 2014

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.

Doug, Jerry, Vivian, Corey, Danielle and Wes,
I have known Elise Since I was 7 years old. We went to school together from Pleasant Center all the way through Wayne. We were also both on the Cheerleading squad at Wayne. She was one of the happiest people I knew. She always had that beautiful smile and contagious laugh. She was a wonderful and fun person to be around. I hope that all of your happy memories of her will carry you through this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss. No words will ever fill that void you must feel but just remember she will be in heaven looking down on your family. She will always be with you. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.
