Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear about Liz's passing. I met Liz when I lived in Los Angeles. She was one of the first people to support my newly formed dance education and outreach non-profit in the mid-1990's. Liz was a uniquely warm, sensitive and dynamic woman, and always, always a lot of fun! We shared many meals together in L.A. and New York, talking, laughing and communing over dance - one of the loves of her rather extraordinary life. I'm sorry I just learned of her death. My heart goes out to...

So sorry for the loss. I remember working with Howard and Liz when they first started dating. Lovely couple once again reunited. Calvin

As I walked down my dorm hall at Scripps College I'd see Liz in her room, long hair waving with purpose. I enjoyed being one of her friends back then and have thought fondly about my reconnection with her around 15 years ago. She had a deep passion that one doesn't find very often, and it was an honor to have known her.

Liz you were truly a force of nature. You left a huge legacy in your own right. I know that Mimi and Howard were waiting for you. You will be missed....

My daughter Julia trained with the Joffrey Ballet as a young girl. She also was in the NutCracker in LA. Liz was very kind to her. Julia danced with Ballet San Jose and is an entertainment lawyer in Century City. Liz `s support was part of her early beginnings and helped her to believe in herself. So sorry to hear of her death.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I had the pleasure of a few conversations with Liz way back when I too was in the music business. She was the consummate professional in every endeavor. Her reputation preceded her. RIP

I served on Liz´s Master Chorale committee and absolutely loved the exciting ways that were created to celebrate the master Chorale. Specifically the beautiful Christmas concert. She was a mover and a shaker. She will be missed.
