I only met Elise a few times, through my mother's family. I remember how lively and energetic Elise was. I was shocked and saddened upon hearing of her passing. The only thing I can do now is remember her spirit and pray for her surviving family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Elise but my wife and I were five cars behind the scene and sat in the car and prayed for Elise and the other rider. I can tell you that she was very well cared for and surrounded by people helping her and taking care of her with respect.

Elise, you will be missed by all.
I loved your spirit for adventure; you lived and loved life to the fullest.
When I hear the song, from Steppenwolf, Born to Be Wild, I will always think of you.
You were loved by all.

I always got a kick out of watching Elise with some of her best friends. Man, what a laugh and a smile. They would definitely draw the eye as you could see they were truly having fun. As a sports fan, I also appreciated her dedication to the Seahawks games. My condolences to the family because she could light up a room with a smile, with a laugh and with humor. She will be missed.

Elise had such as spirit and lived with purpose and passion in anything she did. I am sorry for the loss and she will be missed by anyone that had the privilege to know her. If there is one thing she can teach us all is to make every day meaningful and do it with kindness and compassion. Rest in peace Elise.

I knew Elise when she first moved here and started working at CBIC, where we both worked for over 10 years... it was a hard time in her life... being a single mom to Brandon... we used to have friday movie nights and playdates with Brandon (he was the most beautiful little boy). On rare occasions she would come out Dancing with us and dance till dawn. I was in her wedding when she became an Arnits and I was around when she had Cam... Then we lost touch with busy lives and I am so regretting not trying harder now to stay in touch... she was such an amazing friend and soul. I encourage Brandon to contact me if he ever needs one to talk to... though I do not know him as a man I would be honored to be his friend. My condolences to Cam as well. :0( so sad.
I'll miss your smile and laughter!

We have shared some of the best times and for that I am thankful! I will always remember "E Row" :-). I am sad that I won't be able to laugh with you more in this lifetime, but we will meet again my friend!
Brandon and Cameron, know that your mother loved you SO VERY MUCH. You were the center of her world.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
