Elyssa had a huge impact on me. She made me laugh, cry, smile, and so much more. We had our rough patches, but we both knew our friendship could rise above it. So hard, not being able to say goodbye, so much I wish I could have told her. Cherish those close to you and live with no regrets.

Elyssa, You were here for me as a friend, a crying shoulder, helping me when I lost my precious Chula. I loved you like a sister, and did my best to be there for you as a brother. Though we have parted ways, I know you will always be with me.

All I can think of to keep myself from totally falling to pieces is she is with our lord and out of pain. Her pain was so great and there was only so much we could do. My dear Elyssa, I love you with all my heart. Be at peace and bless us with your beautiful smile.
