Elyse fought a brave battle since 2017. She shared her Stage 4 Metastatic journey and gave “cancer survivor and thriver” a face and name. She went home to God 10/2025 and left behind two boys, husband and a family that loved her. This was a cause close to her heart and her wish to have memorials go to Memories for Kids.
She was a bright ray of sunshine to her family, friends and the world and loved by many.
Matt was my late husband and passed away in August from stage 4 sarcoma. We were able to travel as a family to Missouri just before he passed because of MFK. This was a trip that will forever be in my and my boys hearts.
Kala was a dear friend lost to breast cancer; her family benefitted from this program and I know the memories they have from their trip remain with her kids. Thank you for doing what you do to support families!
