Not sure what to say?

I have such fun memories of Elizabeth ... From playing games she organized; meeting Elizabeth and Lois Curorke for lunches; her love of birds; her positive, happy attitude; how caring she was for her family and friends; her ability to find the best bargains; and Elizabeth is the only one I know who would send me a thank you note for my thank you note to her ... and she included cute stamps with it. When I think of Elizabeth, it will always be with a smile.
RIP Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was an amazing woman. She accepted me into her family well before I married her lovely granddaughter. She was one of the most creative and passionate people I've known. It was pleasure to know her for as long as I did. It's sad to see her go, but her positive influence will live on.

Elizabeth was one of the most positive friendly people I have ever met. Her smile would light up the room. She will be missed but her love will live on in all those that she came in contact with.
