I worked with Liz for about 2 years. She was always a special person to me. She loved to show me the jewelry she made and even eagerly made some pieces available to me for my own collection. We shared lunches together from time to time and always enjoyed each other. She welcomed me into her home for visits and sharing of her good coffee and was proud to show me pictures of her granddaughter and other family members. I will miss her ready laugh and sunny disposition. Her work ethic was one to...

The world has lost one of the most kind, thoughtful, generous and loving people I have ever known. Liz Bergman was so many things to me; a co-worker, a friend, a mentor. If something was wrong in my life, Liz always had a no nonsense answer on what to do. She was there for me during so many times of turmoil and joy during the 4.5 years we worked together. Even when we didn't see each other everyday, Liz made an effort to keep in touch with me and remain a part of my life.
