When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight

I believe there is a reason for everything, eventhough, we sometimes don't understand why. Thank you Elizabeth for your beautiful friendship, for your inspiration and all the love you shared with me, especially the stories! I am missing your smiling face, your laugh and your spunky attitude. Love you my friend and I can't wait to see you again.

Lorraine and Alfie, I am so sorry for the loss of your dearest Mother Elizabeth. My deepest sympathy and prayers. I will surely miss her phone calls, sense of humor and loving heart. But I live in the hope that we will see our loved ones in heaven and that includes Gary and George. Love, Louise

To Elizabeth, You were like a second Mom. Supportive caring, and put up with Lorraine and I though the years. You were one of the strongest women I knew. And now you're watching over all of us.
To Lorraine and family, she will always be with you, not only in spirit, but in your hearts and memories. Prayers and hugs to you all.

Dearest Aunt Betty ( Elizabeth)
I just can believe you have left us so young and full of life. I was praying that you would recover and we would have many more years of visits.
You were a great Aunt to us. I have fond memories of they times we spent together here in Texas and in New York. I remember the time you took my brother and I to Coney Island. We had never been to anything like that. We rode rides and played games and ate pizza.
You were a good example for all of your family. We were proud of you. I will treasure your memory forever in my heart.
To live in the hearts of those who live is never to die. Your niece Carol Ann Ludwig Siepmann, Cost, Texas

My heart goes out to everyone who was blessed by knowing Elizabeth. I share the great great loss with Al & Lorraine for to know Elizabeth was to love her. My heart is broken because I just found out about the passing of my best friend and was unable to attend her final farewell. A lesson never learned stay in touch for tommorrow is promised to no one! But I know she knew how much I loved her and how much she meant to me and my daughter. When I met Elizabeth we worked at Bank of America together and I was a single Mom raising my daughter. She took us into her heart and her family and included us in many holiday family dinner get togethers. Her and George were quite a pair!!! I loved them both for always making us feel welcome. I use to love to stay at her house and we would sit outside and drink coffee and smoke cigarettes and talk and laugh together. Those memories are priceless to me. I have an 8 x 10 picture I took of My Mom, Elizabeth and my daughter Shannon together and had it framed. For the last 13 years I have told everyone that, that picture is of the three most important women in my life. Now two are gone but I treasure that picture. Elizabeth God Bless us all with your prescence and now we send you back to God,We will miss you dearly. Give Hugs and Kisses to George for us and may you shine in Gods eternal light. Good night my Sweet Dear Friend. A Friend Forever Jenny & Shannon Pollaccia

I am so sorry to hear of Elizabeth's passing.She was such a good soul and opened up her home for a friend,who was displaced a night because of fumigators. I went by a couple of times to say hi and she was so sweet, and she loved her kids and grandchildren so very much.

Dear Lorraine,
I attended the service for your mom on Thursday. Wow what a beautiful testament of the life your mother lived and the lives of the many people she touched. I had the privilege of meeting your mom about 4 yrs. ago. She had a standing appointment at the hair salon I worked in and I would occasionally do her hair when her regular girl was out of town. Upon meeting her I immediately took a liking to her. She had the best sense of humor and I always looked forward to Saturdays because I knew she would be coming through the door at 8am. I was always amazed with amount of love she spoke of you, your brother both your spouses and her grandchildren. She got me to thinking about how I hoped when my children get married that I would like to have that kind of relationship with their spouses. In other words your mom was a living example of how I too would hope to live my life. Even though there is a great amount of sadness with her passing I am eternally grateful that I met her and I will always rejoice in the memories she left me with. So cheers to you Elizabeth and a life well lived. Until we meet again.
Love You, Diana

Dear Al,Lorraine,Kim,Sunny,and Riley. I am sorry for the loss of your mother and grandma. I know how hard it is to lose someone so dear to your heart. I also know few things in life are comforting right now. I think that Elizabeth would not want you to grieve too hard or too long for her. I am uplifted when I think of what I can do that would make my mom the most proud of me, if she were still here. When I think of Elizabeth, I will remember her courage, her kindness, her strong family values, and her caring nature. I keep her alive in my heart and mind. To honor them, live your life in joy as much as possible. Remember all the love and good that they brought into your life.

Lorraine, Al, Kim and all Elizabeth's extended family ~ it was such a shock for me to read her obituary this week. Elizabeth, (or Betty as I remembered her for so long), and I went way back working for Bank of America. As has been said, she was truly a very caring, supportive and upbeat person and I will remember her as I last saw her at one of our luncheon get-togethers. I'm sorry I had no Idea she was not well. Unfortunately, due to prior commitments I deeply regret that I will not be able to join you at her memorial service tomorrow. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. A dear friend, Alice Kam

Mom, I remember I hung on to your apron while you did the dishes. You should have known I would never let go. But now I know its time for The Lord to take over. Thank you for loving me the way a mother loves her daughter. It will never be the same without you...But you will always be in my heart.

I remember when Aunt Elizabeth used to come with my Mom, to visit my family and I, when we lived in San Diego. I don't think I'll ever get used to the idea of her not being with us. She was a very important part of our family. We all love you Aunt Elizabeth and we will miss you so much. <3 Simon, Lisa, Jonathan, Nathan, Chris and Alyssa Shepherd

Our love, care and sympathy are extended to all of Elizabeth's family and friends. She leaves behind many loving friends in our volunteer program and made quite an impact on our clinical staff during her hospitalizations. She will be greatly missed. Thank you for sharing her with us for so many years.
