Elizabeth was such a loving and caring person. I had the joy of working with her at MJH, and as well she was a nurse for a dear friend of mine on that floor. Always made me feel good with her on the floor with him.(tommy) You have truly lost an angle but she didn't belong to the world she was a child of gods. She was such a loving person. She will be missed.

To the Harris family;
I had the pleasure of knowing Liz since elementary school and worked with her at MJH. She always had a smile, and she always had a kind word to everyone she met. The world was a little brighter place with her in it and now we have a new angel in heaven to watch out over all of us. It was indeed a pleasure to know her and to be considered her friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you now.

I am saddened with the loss of a dear friend/confidant/aunt. Liz was the only person brave enough to teach me how to drive and was always there to talk to day or night. She will be missed dearly and will always hold a special place in my heart. James, I will always be there for you, and to the Mrs. Virginia thank you for producing such a wonderful person. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers all the time as you were just like another family to me. Love you always.
