Liz, I thought I did this yesterday but I guess I did it wrong.
Liz, I love you and miss you and think about you everyday. Sometimes living life gets in the way but you are never far from my thoughts. We will talk again.
Love always, wish we could "talk".

Billy, as you know it wasn’t until Liz was diagnosed that we began a closer friendship. Liz was and still is an example of courage and fortitude. She had such a love for life that she fought to remain with us until the very end. It is difficult for me to accept that she lost this battle. I am able to find some comfort in knowing that I was able to come to know Liz spiritually and, along with others, help lead her to know that the Holy Spirit would be with her and guide her to Heaven. God Bless you Billy, for the greatest love I have ever seen given to a loved one. Love, Flo

Bill, It took me a while to write something to you because there are no words for your loss. I will miss my dear little suzyweather bee girl. Now when it snows I think of her wishing I was getting the weather report from my friend. I will miss her but never forgotten. Liz will always be in my heart. Bill you are in my thoughts and prayers all the time.

We only met Liz a few times but she was one who made a powerful and lasting impression. It became quickly apparent that she was one that would truly 'seize the day' and live life as she saw fit. In that way she was an inspiration to those who came to know her. Even her marriage was a model for all, a more devoted couple you could not find.
Liz, thank you for teaching us what true grace and courage, even in the face of terrible adversity, really is. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
Until we meet again, God bless and hold you close.

Bill, I met Lizabeth when she was a tiny tot with about one word in her vocabulary..."no". I think it's fair to say she had a mind of her own, was always sweet and kind and funny. I'm happy she found you and had such a full life although way too brief. She would never have survived this past year without you and we all thank you for that. Mary
