United Family and Friends of Eliscia was founded by M. Katherine Roseberry, Eliscia's mother.

Katherine shares how faith, determination, love and support have aided the healing process after the suicide of her daughter by her violence.

Her goal is to educate society on violence.

Katherine brings an up close, personal and candid speech about her new lifestyle as a survivor.  She stresses how she feels an impulsive choice brought a fatal ending for her family and friends.

Katherine would tease Eliscia by saying, "Come here my first born."  Eliscia would respond, "Humm, I'm your only born!"
