Elyssa and I met in High School and thanks to Facebook, we reconnected years later. We enjoyed keeping up with each other, with FB and messaging as a way to stay connected even though we lived on opposite coasts. Elyssa always took the time to read and offer sweet comments on every post. Elyssa especially loved the flower pictures I post daily, my attempt to spread a little beauty in this world. Whenever I post a purple flower, it will forever be in memory of Elyssa.
When I met Elyssa, her beautiful spirit and equally gorgeous smile was radiant. The only thing brighter was her kindness and positivity, both of which remained prevalent even while she was facing so many painful challenges the last few years.
To all that knew and loved Elyssa, I offer my heartfelt condolences. Especially to her Mom as it’s unimaginable to lose both your daughters; and to her partner, Rich. While I know she is relishing in her reunion with her beloved sister, Pam, and her Dad, and shining down on us from above, I can’t help but feel that the light here on Earth has dimmed.
