We remember, with fondness, our first and only visit with Elizabeth. It was November 2006, while we were at Ventana to hear our daughter and son-in-law. Unfortunately our time with Elizabeth was way too short, but shall remain a very pleasant memory for a long time. She will always be in our thoughts as well as all of her family.

To my loving friend Elizabeth, we did it well. As closest friends, we are wealth. I talk to you often, I know you hear me. Our bond we never be broken. You went ahead of me. We will always be together. It is almost a year. At times I am sad, remembering all the cherished moments. I know your well. I wish comfort to those who struggle with losing you to the earth plane. I love you. I know you are with me.
love and light. Your loving friend,
Mark

My sincere condolences to Elizabeth's family for their great loss. Also, condolences to her friends who have also suffered a similar loss. Our family knew Elizabeth when she first lived in Tucson -- I remember her great voice, her positive attitude, her memorable piano playing -- and her purple suede boots! She was at once both a lively, blithe spirit and a deeply committed friend. She was enormously kind, generous, able to give of herself always more than was asked. God Bless her grieving family -- and all of us who were privileged to know her --such shining lights are rare, and often too quickly gone.

My sincere condolences to my old & dear friend Patti on the loss of her sweet & adorable sister, Lizzie. I was so sad to hear today of this terrible news. My love to Eileen & Abba. I hope you can find the strength to enjoy your lives knowing that your daughter touched so many people in the time that she spent with us. My memories are so vivid of the "little sister" who danced to the beat of her own drum.
All my love, Andi Flaum Miller

Elizabeth,
I only knew you for a little while but I feel that the connection we made will last forever. Your energy, enthusiasm and positive outlook on life will always inspire me. There are no words to describe how you've influenced me with the courage you had even until the very end. You were looking forward to your continuing journey. I feel a whole in my heart and gut right now finding out you had passed. I only wish I had seen you at least one more time, but am happy for the times I did see you.
God Bless You and I know you will find everlasting peace.
My thoughts and prayers go to you, Elizabeth, and to your family. That they may find comfort in the memories you have left them.

I loved her spirit. What a blessing it was for me to spend some time with Elizabeth during her time in Peppi's House. She was leaving this earthly plane on her own terms and Heaven is now an even more splended place. Save me a seat dear friend.

What a lady, friend, Co-Worker and an inspiration to eveyone who knew her! A lady that will truly be missed by eveyone.

We often talked about playing the piano together and her singing, as her voice was so beautiful.

As the Angels fly with you, my thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family.

God Bless to all.

For my wife Cheryl and I, Elizabeth is one of those rare persons who has simply reserved a place in our hearts for eternity.

Whenever we see a brightly-colored scarf, we will always see it wrapped around Elizabeth’s shoulders much like the scarves she wore so often.

Whenever we walk by the piano in our home, we will always see Elizabeth playing so effortlessly and singing so beautifully.

Elizabeth was a sophisticated example, expert mentor and unwavering friend. And even though we know that we will see her again, we will still miss her so much until then. But we can’t wait for the reunion!

Condolences to family and friends who will miss her a lot. (Especially Jan & Mark; the three musketeers.) At full moon she will now shine around you.
Elizabeth had a laugh we all loved and a voice that will now be used in the choir of Angels

God blesses us with the ability to meet a few special and wonderful people in life who teach us, inspire us, and motivate us. Elizabeth was one such person for me. Her spark could be seen from across a room, and one could not help but be attracted to her zest in character. I will miss you Elizabeth, but I am so ever thankful God allowed me to know you!

Elizabeth: A woman with an incredible spirit. Always positive and future looking. A kindness from within that cared for others. A woman willing to help make up for the weaknesses in others. I will miss her help in so many things. A "big city" girl willng to help a "South Dakota" kid. I will not forget her smile or hugs - such genuine humaness.
