Korzenko, Elise Marie Age 5. Born April 14, 2007. Elise relinquished her mortal life in San Diego, CA, at Rady Children's Hospital ICU, on September 28, 2012, in exchange for the supreme reward and assurance of Eternal Life granted by her strong belief and faith in, and obedience to, her loving Savior, Jesus Christ. She joins her preborn baby brother or sister, but precedes into Heaven her deeply devoted parents, Charity Oga-a Korzenko and Paul Andrew Korzenko. Elise also leaves behind adoring grandparents, 'Grandma JuJu' Goles and 'Grandpa Gene' Korzenko, 'Lola' Neria and 'Lolo' Nilo Oga-a. She will be sorely missed by many relatives and friends of all ages, locations and demographics. The family greatly encourages you to record your memories of Elise with the videography team during the visitation or meal/fellowship time. Elise became a short-term Christian missionary of sorts, bringing joy and hope over the past 8 ½ months, to so many people, with her ever-present smile, bubbly personality and precocious outlook on life. Her dream was to get married someday, be a stay -at-home mommy and raise 5 children. She was being homeschooled and was at 2nd-3rd grade reading, spelling, geography and math levels prior to getting sick in January. Elise loved to write and illustrate short stories, draw, color and do crafts, and especially sing hymns (her last song was 'Amazing Grace'), and improvise made-up songs as well. She was a voracious reader. Elise enjoyed the Veggie-Tales videos and books, especially 'An Easter Carol'. She believed that 'God made her special and loved her very much', and absolutely knew that she was going to Heaven because she trusted Jesus to forgive her sins. Elise was also tech-savvy, filling up her mom's i-phone and notebook computer with a plethora of home-made videos of herself telling stories, often featuring her inseparable trio of artifacts: her pink blankie (her favorite color), her stuffed dog 'Pup-Pup', and 'Cutie', her yellow rubber duckie. Although Elise was 'promoted' ahead of us, this world, which was never her home anyway, is diminished with her departure.Visitation:Elise's 'Home-Going Celebration' will be at Elmbrook Church Chapel 777 S. Barker Rd. Brookfield, WI on Sat., Oct. 13 with viewing from 12:30-3 PM.Service:An evangelistic memorial and remembrance service will be held at 3 PM (officiated by Pastor Matt, of their home fellowship, Mercy Seat Christian Church), followed by a full Filipino/American potluck dinner.
