Dear Besuidenhout family,,
I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Elyse. Although I only met her once, I can see the immense love and joy she brought to those around her through the stories shared by her aunt, Alta. My heart goes out to you during this incredibly difficult time.
Remembering Elyse, a beautiful , kind soul. You accomplished so many great things in life, and you will always be cherished. You touched each and every one of us. The world was a better place because of you. Gone but never forgotten Fly high my sweetheart 💔 our thoughts and prayers are with Fransie, Rae, Ryan, and extended family and friends 🙏

You will be missed Elyze. When I think of you I always think of the white easter eggs you so loved as a child.. Haha.. Every easter that memory fills my mind.
Fly high Elyze. Aunt Rae, Uncle Bez, Ryan and family… we are praying for you.
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.
Lovely service. I will always remember Elyse as a wonderful positive person, who cared greatly for her family. Her humor was the best in the family and luckily she shared it on facebook!
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.
Elyse, sister, aunty….you were one of a kind. Your humour and laugh kept us all smiling. I am so grateful that I have so many cherished memories of life with you! We are heart broken that you are gone so soon, yet we will always have beautiful memories to treasure of the time you were here with us. Rest well sweet girl. We already miss you so much. Love always Laura, Emilia and Aiden xxx

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.
