I remember Elizabeth as a student in an art class that I taught at UW. She was certainly talented and I recall that she was enthusiastic, engaged in the art making process and fun to have in the class. I was sorry to read this sad news and want to extend my sympathy to her family and friends.

Dearest Bob and family,

I'm so sorry for the loss of the beautiful and elegant Elizabeth. My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time.

I was so fortunate to have known her for over 9 years. She wasn't just a special client of mine' but also someone I considered a friend.

I will treasure my memories she brought to my "work days" with her wit, the southern charm, a love for beautiful, classic clothes, her love for Bobby and her family and her zest for life!

I will miss her, but take great comfort in cherishing the many years she was in my life.

Take good care,
Fondly,
LeeAnn

Dear Bob,
Sending you deep sympathy in your loss of this lovely woman your dear companion. Although she & I met only briefly when we 3 coincided on our walks, she clearly shone with a light all her own.
While I cannot join you on Saturday, please know you have a place in my thoughts at this sorrowful time.
