Dear Liz,
I knew you in high school back in Oak Park and just found out about your passing. So very saddened by this news and sending you angel blessings and love.

I have just now learned of Elizabeth's passing. I've only a few fond childhood memories of her but find myself deeply saddened by this news. My thoughts, prayers and heart go out to all of you.

Dear Sandy: I was stunned to read in the Wednesday Journal of Liz's death. I am so sorry. I have always remembered her so fondly...she was such a wonderful babysitter for Kristin (who will soon be 40) and Lisa (who has 2 sons and a little daughter). I always admired Liz because she was so intelligent, so smart, so sweet. I am so sorry she is gone. Please contact me, if you like...My best to you from Denise Van...
