Elizabeth Fairhall Smith "Liz" Friel

It's been twenty years. I still can't believe you're gone. You were the best ever. I'm so glad you and Joe found each other. You deserved the best. Much love.

i attended high school in miami at palmetto high with betsy, as we knew her then. then flew briefly with her at nal. she was always alive and funny and lifted your spirit. she will be missed, take comfort she is in the best place we all hope to get to, she just went too soon.with sympathy, chuck and laura

LIZ, WHAT A SHOCK. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SICK. IT'S A SHAME WE ALL GET TOO BUSY TO KEEP IN BETTER TOUCH. I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I HAD SO MUCH FUN FLYING WITH YOU. YOU NOT ONLY WERE FUN BUT YOU FELT THE SAME WAY I DID ABOUT PASSENGER SERVICE. WE WORKED AND GOT ALONG SO WELL. I STILL GET TEARS IN MY EYES WHEN I REMEMBER NATIONAL AIRLINES. WE WERE THE BEST YOU KNOW AND NO ONE WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS WE WERE. MY SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO YOUR FAMILY. I KNOW THEY WILL MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. YOU ARE...

Liz, you brightened our lives, and I feel enriched having known you. Thanks for the laughter, and God bless you with lots of light and love.

LIZ...YOU ARE NOW WEARING THE BEST "WINGS" YOU EVER HAD... YOU HAVE LEFT US WITH SO MANY WONDERFUL MEMORIES..YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US..CHERYL KURIT MELTON

Liz was truely a gift from God..We will always remember her infecious smile and happy wit. Many a trip did she provide the rest of the crew with the spirit to perform with gracious and a positive attitude...We will miss you.

Let our hearts be full of joyous memories of Liz at her most vibrant best, as we share the sadness & loss of such a sweet soul.
You are in my prayers.

There are certain people that cross our lives that we never forget. Liz always brought a "perk" to both her fellow crew and passengers. You will always be remembered Liz!

Like so many others', my life was brightened by Liz and her lively spirit - we worked together at America West Airlines (post-Pan Am) and hit it off in a big way. The wedding at the Plaza was something I'll never forget and I've cherished my friendship with her and Joe and the rest of her wonderful family. Goodbye Liz - I'll miss you so much!
