Not sure what to say?

Monte,my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I know she is lighting up heaven with renewed strength and joy.

I will miss my dear friend of 25 years. Liz was there always to support me and lift my spirits with her witty sense of humor and sincere compliments. She had a gift of seeing and appreciating you for who you really were. She always pointed out your best qualities. Sometimes I felt that she was my biggest fan. Liz loved to plan simple family get togethers and parties on holidays which we loved to be a part of. Her happiest times were when she was surrounded by family and friends. Liz had a...

My prayers go out to the Campbell family during this time of need. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with the Campbell's. Mrs. Campbell was like a second mother to me. When I was at their house she always made me feel like a member of the family. What I will remember and cherish the most about her was her compassion, love of life, and witty sense of humor. I feel sad for the family, but happy that she has reached her final destination.

My thoughts and prayers are with Liz and the Campbells… I’ll remember Liz as the type of person that welcomed anyone and everyone with kindness, a warm, patient and forgiving person who inspired me with her charm, her smile, her humor and her ability to recognize goodness and strength in people (especially young people), sometimes before they saw it themselves. Her spirit lives in those she inspired.

Mr. Campbell, Kelly, Toby, Mary and the rest of the family~
I'm so sorry for your loss. Rejoice that your mother/wife isn't hurting any longer. As time passes, your aching will lessen. Please know that you all are in my thoughts~

Liz was a dynamo, and I know she is having quite a chat with St. Peter today. She was a formidable woman here on earth; solid, kind, generous, ever loyal and always loving. I think she had one of the most beautiful smiles ever, and I loved her giggle. Her absence in our world will be sorely missed. I pray that your faith can comfort you in the days to come. With love and sympathy--

Monte: Our deepest sympathy to you and the kids. Not a whole lot you can say at a time like this but that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mark, Charmaine and Family

As I think of the journey to heaven a smile comes into place. The beauty and love and peace surrounding each and every space.
Reunited with loved ones once missed and a joyous celebration unfolds. Warm memories, laughs, and thoughts of you, in our memories and hearts we now hold. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My prayers and thoughts go with you at this time, but we know she is in a better place.
