    watching from Indonesia. I always remember admiring Elyse as little girl growing up for her wicked sense of humor and determination. Her Facebook comments were one of the only ones that were truly funny. She is gone before her time

    My special cousin – you always made me laugh. You had such a good way of looking at everything- practical and always with your humour. Talented in everything you set your mind to – from tennis to cricket, partying and working hard . Your brilliance in the kitchen as a chef and organizing everything that went with it. Your ability to work with people and always making everyone feel at ease. You were always ready to try everything even dangling off the chair in a ski lift! I will always remember you as our bridesmaid and how honoured we were you wore a dress. Your beautiful manners and goodness of heart. We were lucky to have have you in our lives.

    Watching from Scotland. Sincerest condolences to all the family during this devistating time. Such an amazing human and the greatest friend to Nix. I didn’t need to ask when you phoned Nix who it was, due to the 2 hours of belly laughter that would ensue.such an amazing character. A true light in the world gone far too soon. You will be sorely missed.Rest in peace.

    Dear Francois, Rae and Bez. We watched from Macduff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Thank you for screening – we felt as one with you in your grief. Matthew 5:3: ‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.’ We pray that the words of our living Lord will comfort you, every hour, every day.

    Elyse will still shine bright, look in the night sky and you’ll see her sparking and winking at you.
    Close your eyes and feel the warmth of angel hugs around you and enjoy the memories that can never be taken away.
