Steve Wisher
February 16, 2011
Just before Christmas last my mom had a stroke and was in the Hospital recovering. The day after her stroke our phone rang and the caller id said J Holmquist, I was thinking oh lord no not Liz not yet and I answered and it WAS Liz. I sighed a big relief and we talked for a bit about things but the main reason for her call was to make sure my mom was ok. How awesome is that. I can only say that for as long as I have been alive that is one testament to her life, she always put others before herself. I couldn't have asked to know anyone better.

Liz was a wonderful friend and extended family member for all the Wisher's, from Trish to Steve to Harold and Uppy. She was fun, full of vigor and had so much energy. I can remember her being sent to "take care" of me at the movies when I was 8 and she was 14. She was the most "fun". Sometimes she sneak me out and we'd go get an ice cream cone and sneak back in the back door. That was the old Community Theater a long time ago. Later years my folks enjoyed visiting her with Steve, my brother, who was very close to her childen in age. Liz became a close friend to my parents. She will be sorely missed, especially by my mom. Bless you Liz.
