I think the term "Social Butterfly" was created as soon as Elyse learned to speak. Growing up with her she had friends within every clique. Whether it was the jocks, smokers hall, cheerleaders or nerds - Elyse was in the know of each group. It didn't end in Jr. High and High School though. There are many, many friends that wouldn't have met, dated or married each other without her introductions. Soundoff, the U, Greek row, co-ed softball, tailgating, Kappa alums. She brought us all together yet made each of us feel the most special in her life.
On a more personal note, I am terribly missing my phone chats with Elyse. I talked to her about anything and everything and I would hang up feeling so much better about my current situation. She was a fabulous psychologist to me and should have charged me money for all of the counsel over the past 29 years. Her advice is too numerous to list but from the biggies like kids and business ownership to the small tidbits like facial products and clothes, she could handle it all.
Here is a great thought she shared with some of us recently that I thought would be good to post:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning how to dance in the rain"
