Elise was one of a kind. We met during our semester abroad in Florence, Italy. I specifically remembering how badass and cool she was when I first met her while hiking Cinque Terre. She spoke her mind and was confident, something that I looked up to. Having late nights together in the streets of Italy, drunk and smoking cigarettes (it was Italy!) was a memory I will never forget. Elise always knew a good time. Over the years we stayed in touch. I visited New Orleans for Jazz Fest and she became our ultimate tour guide. We confessed to each other the difficult health issues we were going through, the stress we had from work, the expectations of being a twenty-something during this time. Shit is hard. When she moved to NYC we connected more often. I could always expect a text from Elise every week asking, "what are you up to this weekend?" or simply a statement "I'm going to this," implying that she wanted to see me there too. She was always trying to give me things, a sweater, a face mask, shoes-- I came to realize Elise's love language was gift giving. She was always generous, with her things, her experiences, her time. When I started teaching movement workshops and doing performances, Elise was there- supportive and ready to shower me with affirmations. I could always count on her to be down for the weird art thing, the spontaneous hang. What was most beautiful about Elise was also the generosity she showed in her art-making. She wrote a book called "Everything Will Be Okay," and illustrated and wrote about all the things in life we can find joy in. She was an incredible illustrator + writer, and was working on publishing a book of her experiences living with mental illness. Her ability to play and uplift others through her art was absolutely beautiful and inspiring. These days, I miss her energy in my life, the ways she was unapologetically herself and the way she always had something to share. Elise, I love you and miss you. Hope you're at peace and chillin' with all the cool cats in the afterlife. Much love, Yo-Yo.

I wanted to be friends with Elise from the moment I first saw her on campus our freshmen year. I like to say "I immediately had a friend crush". I'm so thankful we ended up spending so much time in eachother's lives, from crowdsurfing at VooDoo fest to wandering around the french quarter to simply sitting together on the porch. Whenever we were lucky enough to be in the same town at the same time, I knew I was in for a constant stream of events, people, and conversation. It always blew me away how many friends Elise collected, and just how many events she could fit into one day. Elise was ALWAYS down. One Endymion Saturday, she came to my house in the Irish Channel to visit since I was stuck at home with my dog, and she convinced me to WALK with her (and the dog) all four miles to catch the parade. We grabbed daquiris and danced the whole way there. Elise was a spark of joy, of fun, of spontaneity that I can never replace. I most recently saw her in New York in August. We spent a beautiful day at the beach and ate pizza. When my Mom came to visit, she brought us to her favorite bagel spot and the three of us had a picnic in the park. I miss you everyday Elise.

I taught Elise in sixth grade. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Among so many other gifts, she was brilliant, talented artistically, savvy, an excellent writer and she was kind. She deserved a long and full life. It saddens me greatly that she was denied it. My heart reaches out to her family and friends.

Elise Ingber was a beautiful firecracker of a human, always shining with boundless color. I had the honor of knowing her from a young age, growing alongside her all through high school in our most formative years. I always remember how fiercely independent and creative she was. Always an advocate for our communities, and with a love for the weird above the mundane, Elise made the best of her life by charting her own course through it all. We will miss you so much, friend. Rest easy. - Christine Burki

Elise, I will love you forever & always. You were my curly-haired, whip-smart, funny, creative, oh-so-colorful, always interesting, opinionated, sometimes rebellious, beloved daughter. I can’t believe your expressive, beautiful blue eyes will never connect with mine again. You left behind a void that can never be filled. I’m so sorry for your pain, I felt helpless to fix it, inadequate to provide you with healing comfort. I’m grateful for the years we had together & was always PROUD to be your MOM. I hope you realized I loved you to the depths of my soul & always had your best interests at heart. I will miss you each & every day for the rest of my life. I hope your troubled thoughts are now at peace. ~ MOMSTER
