Every time I visit my Daughter and family in Norfolk, Virginia I realise how much I miss Elizabeth. She was the most treasured friend during my stay in Norfolk. Such kindness from both Stanley and Elizabeth. She is always in my memory.

I live in UK and go to Norfolk Va. to visit my children as they live there. Elizabeth and Stanley befriended me and always included me in their outings. We became close friends and I really miss her on my visits to Norfolk, Virginia. I have very fond memories of them both.

I live in England and have tried to contact Elizabeth on my visits to Virginia and have just come across this obituary. They were wonderful friends and I loved visiting both Elizabeth and Stanley as they included me everywhere and made me feel so welcome.
I sorely miss not being able to contact Elizabeth on my visits to my children in Virginia. She was the most lovely, friendly and interesting person. Such a compassionate and loving person. May she rest in peace.

Kochana Moja Ciociu, I love you.Stay by me close always. I need your help so that I can cook! Always inspire and help me with my cooking--and baking, so we can keep making Jason's tummy happy together. Your cookies are a monument to you in Pearl River! You are forever my Aunt and my friend who has loved me, taught me, listened to me, and through all my life, given me a second, loving home. Your Spirit is with God, with Wojek, and all around us everyday for the rest of our lives, until we are with you in heaven. Give Wojek a big hug and kiss from his Wizardo and from me. Tell him I miss the chocolates. I love you both. ALWAYS. Your niece, Barbara

We will never forget you, Elizabeth! We had such good times together - practicing our German, eating your delicious baked goodies, telling stories from the "Old Country". We will certainly miss you! But we are hopeful that we will see each other again.
