Not sure what to say?

Cousin Elizabeth,
How much do I love you? Let me count the ways. Your love, your kindness, your gentle manner, your thoughtfulness to everyone, never saying a harsh word about anyone. God broke the mold when you were born.
The winters we spent together in Florida, visits to Springfield are fond memories in my heart. I will never forget your generosity to all of us. Your famous expression " We're family, Thank God" yes, we are family for now and forever.
...

Elizabeth was always a special person in our lives, especially to me. She touched so many with her heart of gold. One of the kindest people we ever knew. I'm sure she is much happier now, since Paul left her first.
There is another part of our family now gone, so many in the past few years. It will never be the same as so few are left now.

Elizabeth was a great lady, so kind and generous to all who touched her life. I will always remember on my visits to Florida or Springfield her wanting to go out to lunch and share some thoughtful times with me and my family. She will be missed. My hope is that she is now in a peaceful place and at rest.

Auntie Elizabeth,

We're all going to miss you. You helped everyone, your brothers and sisters, your nieces and nephews, your friends, your employees. You were well loved for your gentleness, your generosity of spirit, your strength. There was some grit in there, too. It always surprised me to see it, but it delighted me, as well. I'll always remember that little half-laugh you always gave; for me, it was the embodiment of who you were. Goodbye, sweet Auntie.

With fond...

There are so many wonderful things we could all say about Aunt Elizabeth. I treasure that I was named after her (my middle name). I treasure the many memories of weekend overnights with her and Uncle Paul, making Friday night dinners together for the three of us (it was always the same thing by the way - steak, corn, salad, potatoes and strawberry shortcake for dessert). And yes, strawberry shortcake is my favorite dessert. My love of musicals comes from her - from all the times she use...

To Elizabeth's Family,
I will always remember shopping in Kute Kiddie Teen Town with my Mom, Louise Wojcik. Elizabeth always welcomed us and knew us by name. She will always be part of our wonderful memories. May she rest in peace.

Dear Aunty:
I will miss your kind and loving spirit. You touched the lives of each family member and many friends. May you find eternal joy and happiness.

Love, Marcia

Rest in peace, Elizabeth. I have many fond memories of my days spent at the Kute Kiddie shopping for all my children. My sincere condolences to your family.
