One of my favorite memories of Elise was watching her and Natalia making up dances at their brothers soccer practices/games. They would coreograph a whole routine and even included Jake as he got older. I don't think I took pictures but I will always remember the smiles and laughter. I also immensely enjoyed watching her be Nathan's biggest cheerleader at soccer games. Shouting his name so loud from the stands. She loved her big brother so much.
One of my favorite memories of Elise is seeing her come to school to help her mom. She always arrived with a beautiful smile that could brighten even the busiest day. Her kindness, spirit, and energy left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Elise brought light wherever she went, and that is how I will always remember her.
The deepest sympathy for your loss. Praying for you and your family. The Dobransky family from Rise and Shine.
It was field day at Hickory Ridge. I’m pretty sure fourth grade. We had to do the two legged race. I’m pretty sure that’s what it was called and me and Elise’s legs were tied together and we had to race other kids and we were doing so bad and it was so funny we just kept falling and it was so much fun. She brought so much joy in my life.
I didn't know your beautiful daughter and I don't know your family. But my heart breaks for you. Please know that I'm praying for your family. She was such a beautiful little girl
Elise was a standout on the stage and so enjoyable to watch. I don’t think even death could ever extinguish a bright star like her.

I had the privilege of being in Seussical with Elise. The moment I first heard her sing my heart melted. Her voice and loving personality brought so much joy to the seussical family. I remember every night after a show had ended, Elise and I would have a conversation about everything that happened in the show, while waiting to change out of our costumes. I will always cherish those moments. Elise, you will forever be missed.

We will always remember Elise, as the joyful toddler- turned teenager, who shared her faith through drama and singing, at church.
