The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Elissa.

Dear Lissa. The worlds best hug giver. Your loss has left a huge hole in the hearts and lives of all that knew you. Today the world is missing a true gem. I will always remeber the way you cared fiercely about those you loved, the chats, all the laughs. You’ll be in my heart with that sparkle, those bubbles and love (& some memories of crazy times with the kids at school!!). For me, your (class)room was always a retreat from the hustle and bustle. A place I could let out a big breath, have a laugh for a bit or just recharge from the chaos. A place I was with a friend, and someone who ‘got it’.

Rodger, Amie and Emma.. I am so, so sorry for your heartbreak. Please know that your Mumsie, GG, Lissa will be held close to us in many fond memories. A memories that inspire all that knew her to show care, empathy, nurturance and fun. I for one will be looking up at that brightest star and having some chats to my “School Mum”. I know you guys will be having many, many, many more. The times Lissa’s face lit up the most were when talking about her family. Her star will be that bright. Please know in the times ahead there will be many people thinking of you guys. I’ve taken so long to write this because I’ve been searching for the right words. There will never be the right words, so here I am.
I am really, truly sorry. Sending all my love and strength to hold onto this rollercoaster, and sharing a smile to honor a wonderful lady xxx

I am so sorry for the loss Roger and your families loss. We will continue to pray for u and your family. I hope and pray the good lord supports u and your family.
Rip Elissa

Elissa, It’s hard to believe I will never see your happy, smiling face again. There will be no more dinners lunches or breakfasts. No more shopping trips, weekends away or holidays together. We won’t be able to exchange photos ,tell stories about our grandchildren or raise our eyes at each other when John or Roger said something stupid. I am blessed to have had you in my life for many years and made so many beautiful memories with you. You had a beautiful send off yesterday and deserved every kind word that was said about you. Your beloved husband, beautiful daughters and amazing grandchildren did you proud. Rest In Peace my beautiful friend. You are gone but never forgotten.💔

Our condolences to you Amie, Roger & Emma…fond memories of Elissa…a vibrant personality…Jan McAleese (Clyde) Georgie Schumann

My thoughts are with you all at this horrible time. Amie you are such a wonderful person and friend to me, I am absolutely gutted I can’t be by your side to support you. Your mum was such a ray of sunshine and you and your boys will carry that light forever. So much love, Sammy and family.

Elissa, or as I like to call her Fossil, was a ray of sunshine. Her bubbly personality and great sense of humour made it possible for me to get through work on the daily. Her sense of fun and enjoyment made for hilarious activities and great times. I don't think a day went by where one of us didn't cry laughing either at something we did or at the other's stupidity. I will miss our yelling matches telling the other one to get back to work, making new staff think that we hated eachother, speed spelling so that noone knew what we were talking about, but most of all your ability to brighten even the darkest of days through your 'live life to the fullest' mentality. I will miss you. Xx

Elissa you have always been my idol right from the beginning sin e 2008 in Noble Park SDS and right through. With your cheerful, happy, loving, caring, supportive and amazing sense of humor you have always lifted my spirit and helped me to get through difficult time. I love u so much and miss u. RIP my friend till we meet again.

To Amie, Leigh, Roger, Emma, Jimmy and family,
We are absolutely shocked at the loss of your mum, wife and GG - an incredible woman with a warm smile and a kind and loving demeanour. She raised two beautiful and caring daughters who exemplify her inner and outer beauty.
She will be missed, but will live on in all the minds of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Our thoughts are with you at this incredibly sad time
Love The Butlers.

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day….unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved,still missed, and very dear.”

May Elissa rest in eternal peace. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.

What a lovely, ever smiling lady we have lost in flash of a second.. Gone too soon! We wish Roger and family courage, comfort and peace at this difficult time and offer our continued support in which ever way we can. Take care buddy. Lots of love, may your everlasting angel always guard you and yours! Anoop & Reena.

My Darling I held your hand this morning and I hope you saw me there.
You know in the room behind me was all our girls, yep Remi as well. It was so good to touch you one last time, especially after our 8k walk this morning. By the way you kept pushing me this morning while I kept telling you that you could slow down a little if you wanted to.
The pressure of life is off you now darling as you contemplate your last journey. It won’t stop us missing each other , I get that.
Yours forever Rog

Elissa will be remembered fondly by the Crown Coaches bus staff as always being helpful, positive and providing excellent advice to ensure the best outcome for the students we transport to and from school.

Oh mumzi, it’s been 11 days and the pain is unbearable. You were the most amazing mum, GG and person. No words can express the enormity of losing you far too soon. I am grateful for all that you did for us, for the way you and dad raised me and for the love I felt from you every day. You truly made the lives of others so much better. There is a massive void in my life that will never be filled. I hope you know Judy how loved and appreciated you were by everyone around you. I hope you found Great Gramps, Pop, Old Pop and Millie and that you are resting in peace. You will never be forgotten ans there will never be a day that we don’t talk about you, our beautiful mumzi and GG. Love you so, so, so much xxx

Hey Elissa,

You were such a bright and cheerful lady and while it was very short, I'm glad to have had the privilege to work together with you. Thank you for bring so much laughter, joy, and love in the classroom to all the people you've interacted with.

Will miss you and your presence forever,
Alisha.

I met this lovely lady just once, and l was always looking forward to meeting her again. To all family and friends , word's can never express the pain, sadness and loss you must all be living with. With all of my kindness Cheryl (P's friend)

So sorry to hear your very sad new. While I did not know your mum I know she had a beautiful daughter and was dearly loved by many. May fond memories bring you peace and comfort. Love and best wishes, Judy

Our hearts are broken with your passing.
You were the sweetest, kindest person.
Any person who had the honour of knowing you was blessed.
You impacted so many lives with you gentle nature and beautiful smile.
You will be so missed in our lives.
Our thoughts, prayers and love to you Roger and all your family.

So sorry to hear about such a terrible news. My condolences to whole family.

How do I begin to say goodbye to my best friend. We have shared so many good times whether it be over coffee, a lunch, a dinner, a weekend away and even a cruise when we were 21 even though I jumped ship. Our lunches that turned into dinners and our many conversations which I will miss dearly. You were an absolutely selfless person that gave to everyone and loved your family fiercely. Your new found love for riding a bike was so amazing with your many walks with beloved Roger. Your unconditional love for your beautiful daughters will live on through them and your gorgeous grandchildren will always remember their GG and you will shine through them. I will be there for your family forever. John and I were truly blessed to have you in our lives and I call us the lucky ones. I’m not saying goodbye I’m saying till we meet again and then we will have so much to catch-up on. Love you Lis 💗💔💗

Sorry to hear this terrible news. Sending my deepest condolences to the whole family.

An amazing lady that lit up a room,
Someone you could not help but adore,
A smile that warmed, an infectious giggle,
Many would argue she was without a flaw.

A life dedicated to her ever growing family,
She was the twinkle in all their eyes,
She was a hug, an ear, a home and a rock,
What the hell is this? Simply too many whys!

Colourful, kind, caring, gentle, nurturing and strong,
These only begin to define who you were,
There are so many other ways you’ll be remembered forever,
But for now, it’s just an almighty cruel blur.

You were a daughter, a wife, a mum, a sister and a treasured friend to many,
I will always hold you in my heart as my second mumma bear,
I cannot believe this world has taken you away at this time,
It’s confusing, heartbreaking, unimaginable and just bloody unfair.

Elissa you were one of a kind and can never be replaced,
One things for sure I’ll always be there for your girls with whatever challenges they may face!

RIP beautiful lady.
