Not sure what to say?

It is hard to believe that this much time has passed since Liz left us - but only physically for sure. She was and continues to be someone I remember who inspired me, who had a tremendous wit but also a very thoughtful way of making you feel special. I remember especially when our laughter over something silly would turn to giggles and go on and on and on! Rest in peace, Liz....I am sure that your laughter is delighting the heavens!

Liz was a sweet lady when she was the first lady of ATA. My young daughter, Maureen, sometimes traveled with me to meetings and Liz was always kind and welcoming to her.

I was deeply saddened to learn about Liz's death. The last time I saw her we were having lunch together. Liz and I worked closely together in the Long Term Ombudsman program for many years and she was a terrific advocate as well as a person. May it comfort you to know how much Liz meant to so many. This loss will leave a empty spot in my heart. My prayers are extended to the entire family. Vivian Omagbemi

I remember that smile well, and the grace, from the short time I was acquainted with her. Condolences to your family.

Hi Uncle Tom and Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences to you and the rest of the family. Heaven has gained a special angel as I will always cherish the great family times and holidays spent together with all the family traditions!Aunt Liz is an extraordinary person always full of so much love and goodness and caring for everyone who was a part of her life. We are here to help in any way we can or carry on anything she did in her memory. Sending our love and prayers...

A beautiful lady, inside and out, who touched so many lives, ours included, in ways that her smile, warmth and genuine caring ensured a friendship that we have always treasure and feel so blessed that we were able to be a part of her life. Our love, prayers and sympathy go out to Tom and the family. An angel on earth has moved on to heaven.
Love, Diane and Jim

Such a sad loss for Tom, for their family, and for those of us who were lucky to share a piece of their lives. Liz was the epitome of a "class act" -- smart, gracious and kind.

Liz gave unselfishly to so many people and causes. She was a role model as a wife, mother, friend, and optimist. Kathleene and I hold dear Liz's many kindnesses to us and the way she was so supportive of all that she and Tom did together.
