I miss you a lot. I'm turning 18 too soon and it is so scary to me that you were only 16. I am terrified of growing older and apart from you. The black backpack too - spray painted with a silver heart and initials. To your parents and Eddy: our love keeps her alive. I never knew what keeping someone in your heart really meant but now I feel it. She is with us

It's been almost seven months--It is still so surreal to me. The school year is starting soon and it's unbelievable that I won't see Lizzy walking in the halls with her bright neon orange bag...

There are no words that can ease your sorrow, but do know that many people are thinking of you and care very much.

Please accept our deepest condolences.

To all of the family & friends of Lizzy Mun,
We are so saddened by Lizzy's tragic passing. I was a patient of Dr. Ed Mun at BID. I recall the pride Dr. Mun has for family. I remember the trips you would take as a family (and prayed for your safety when you went so you'd come back to operate on me in 2003). You were so kind with your patients. You made us feel safe and secure. I wish we could help you now. I pray that the happy memories you have will help you now and forever.
With deepest sorrow for your loss,
Mary

To Dear Elizabeth:
"Ah, bitter is the trial to part
from one so good as you.
You are not forgotten, loved one,
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last,
We will remember thee.
We miss you now.
As time goes by, we will miss you more.
Your gentle smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place."
God bless you, dear Elizabeth,
and your loving family and friends.
