Dan, even though our family didn't see you and Liz often, your grand kids, Caitlin, Clint & Courtney allowed us to know you better through the stories they told about you both. Those kids adored Liz. She will be truly missed. You have our deepest sympathy. Barry's sister, Valerie

Dan, our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We have many fond memories of our mixed doubles tennis group back in the 1980s. Liz was so great at bringing people together for a fun event. We are so sad that her time with her family and friends was cut short.

Dear Liz,
I echo so many of the beautiful sentiments about you from so many.
You and Dan took me and my three daughters into your family "way back".
Many of Blake, Lisa, and Katie's fondest memories will be doing fun things with the family...from camping to beaching!
THEN you and I had fun adventures too!
Thank you for loving me in so many ways, as well as my family and so many others, my dear friend. My heart has a hole in it...

We are deeply saddened by Liz' passing. We have fond and vivid memories of meeting her at the beach house back in 1984 and having the privilege of knowing her over the years. We are praying for Dan and the family in this time of loss and grief.

Many people have spoken well of Liz since the tragedy. We echo their comments, and could make our own long list of things to say as well. But we'll keep it simple.
We're sure Liz had many hundreds, if not thousands, of friends around the world. Not Facebook "friends" but real life, face-to-face, "touchy feely" friends.
To us it felt like, when we were alone with Liz, we were her only friends. Her focus was totally on us. We seemed to be her best friends in those moments. How genuine is that?
Most of the times we laughed together, but we had conversations about some serious "life" situations too. Liz was always encouraging and helpful.
Liz laughed a lot. Not polite, forced laugh, but genuine laugh as in "life is so much fun" laugh.
The Karnicki home was always open for us to visit (and take refuge in after Hurricane Katrina). Liz was the driving force behind that, but we're convinced Dan enjoyed the interesting times Liz made reality.
We hadn't visited with Liz for some time, but that didn't necessarily matter. She was always in our thoughts tucked away somewhere. We knew we'd meet again some place, some time for new adventures.
Unfortunately now, that won't happen.
Cheers to Liz Karnicki!

We met them in San Francisco last September and had dinner one night with our sons who are very close friends. She was one of the most welcoming people I have ever met. Within just a short time we felt that we had known them forever. Liz had a zest for life and the world is a much lonelier place without her. I pray for her large extensived group of family and friends. She will be missed by so many but she will Never be forgotten. God bless her family.

Liz we loved and adored you. We are devastated beyond belief...
Innocence dissolved and the lights went out when we heard you had left us so suddenly.
Dan, Jill, Dawn and Danny Jr I am so sorry this news must be so heartbreaking for you, Bolaro, Bubba, your extended family and everyone else who were lucky enough to know Lizzy. When we visited Liz created adventures like going shopping and dressing-up with her pups to raid her local Antique Malls and to descend upon her beloved and unsuspecting Bridge Studio. I have never laughed so much as I did with Liz as we were always in hysterics and up to mischief together. Liz and Dan saved my life once and went on to become our life-long friends. Opening their home and hearts to us with others from New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina they were for us our American family. After catching the last 50's Greyhound bus out of New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina and pre Rita when I headed to Beaumont Texas Liz was there to greet me and put me on a flight out of Houston. A free generous spirit, loving wife and mother, endearing friend and animal lover our life will never be the same knowing Liz is no longer here making the world a better place... Forever missed and in our hearts Love Di, Matt, Bill, Bev and Madame "CC"

Dear Dan, I have much respect and fond memories of Liz and the catcher of the Amundson Tigers Connie Mack team. When we gathered with the St. Priscilla's clan a few years ago, it was a great reunion. In particular, I enjoyed the lasting friendship of two fun-loving people. Many laughs, many touching stories - so much fun. Rest assured that Liz, you, and your family will remain in my prayers. God love ya!!

You changed my life. I was a young fragile child trying to find who I was. You helped me. You made me realize I mattered. What I had to say mattered. For your help and understanding I am forever grateful. You made a difference in my life. Prayers and peace to your family.

I grew up in a neighborhood of doctors, the daughter of Dr. Webb. Dawn and I were the same age and often played and studied together (although her grades were much better!). It was always a fun time at the Karnickis house. Mrs. Karnicki was always so sweet and she was just "there" if you ever wanted to to talk. She raised 3 great kids. Your family is in my prayers. All my love, Dana Webb Schwalie
