An obituary has been published in the Toronto Star for Elisa Lorraine Linton who died October 31, 2016 in her 23rd year. Lissy was the daughter of Randall and Elisabeth Linton, and sister to Jessica and Connor. She was born with Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare, regressive and terminal disease. Her family, which is well-known in Leaside, has inspired and built The Sanfilippo Children’s Research Foundation — A Life for Elisa.– to help others struck by the disease. Despite her physical and cognitive challenges, Lissy became a symbol of hope and inspiration to everyone, especially families afflicted with Sanfilippo syndrome. A Life for Elisa A single red rose became an appropriate and significant symbol of the Foundation. The family asks that if you are able, please add a touch of red to whatever you are wearing. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation in Elisa’s honour to The Sanfilippo Children’s Research Foundation.
