My condolences to Rick, Jacob, Matt and all who knew and loved her. She was a rock. She was a positive person, a light in my life. She was a great partner to her husband, a great leader of her company and at the Classic Yacht Association. She was a wonderful mother, sister and daughter. I am so sorry that after her great battle with Polycyclemia Vera last February that she succumbed so soon afterwards. She will always be with me as we wove many great memories together.

We were so sorry to hear of Elissa's passing. She was such a vibrant personality and a national leader in dietetics education. We will miss her!

Rick & the family, 

My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. I won't be able to attend the Celebration of Life but will be there in spirit. Elissa was a GREAT person and will be deeply missed.

Dear Rick, Jacob and Matt, ~ 

Sending you all the love and strength possible.  Elissa was one of a kind...a true friend in every way!  Words fail me but just know I will miss her in so many ways,  more than I can say!

Elissa was truly an angel- beautiful inside and out. She was so kind and nurturing and gentle. I’m sorry I have not crossed paths with her in recent years but she has been in my heart since we first met. 

Sending love to all who love her. I know you know what I am talking about. I don’t know yet if I will be able to make it down south. If not, I will be there in spirit.
