Hi there Godmother,
It has been a long time but my heart still has not mended from losing you.
I think of you every day along with my Mom and Mommom and Poppop.

The family is all gone now.

Hi there my sweet Godmother.
Well today two years ago you went to go and be with Mommom and Poppop and my Mother I know you are so very happy up there in heaven with the gang but we down here on earth are suffering so much without you here I still don't know why God took you so soon. I just wanted to let you know I think of you all the time. I miss you so very much my heart is broken on to so many pieces that it will never be the same my life ended when you left me. I love you much and miss you more then words could ever express my dear Godmother. I just can't stop crying so I will write again soon.
Your Godson

Hello Girlfried,
Happy Birthday! How does it feel to turn 60? Oh I guess you really didn't one of the perks of being in Heaven, time probably stops. I have to tell you I would have much rather spent it in Ireland as we planned instead of visiting you at the condo. I really thought I was doing so well this birthday holding it all together. Not sure what happened maybe it was the songs I was listening to ones we use to sing together or spending time with Mary Pat and Jack sharing our memories.Maybe I can blame it on the wine,I just lost it.I feel so sorry for my Billy who did't know what he was in for when he gave me hug.( I cried so much he had to change his shirt LOL)God bless my son he stayed with me until I cried my self out and went to bed. I remember when our birthdays were filled with fun,excitement and so many gifts it looked like Christmas. Why did it have to change? Enough rambling my friend.... I'm sure you had a nice birthday with Mimi, your Mom,Dad, Aunts Uncles and Cousins . I hopeful that next year will be better. MISS you my Birthday friend.

Well, Hello There My God Mother,
I can't believe it has been a whole year without you here. I really miss you I never stop thinking about you!
I was just in Philly for a visit and I really couldn't make myself stay for today it is just to hard.
I try to call you and then remember that you aren't there and then there are times that I watch our stories and think OMG what are they thinking you and I would talk all the time about everything. I miss my confidant. You and my Mother were my wings.
Well, I can't stay on here anymore I just keep crying so please come and visit soon I really miss you.
Love your Godson,
David

Hello Girlfriend,
I can't believe it has been a year since we were together. There have been mile stone events we were to share this year. Get a ways to AC and visits to both our homes that should have happened. What I miss most is our Sunday evenings chats and your comforting hugs when life comes crashing down. ( Boy did I miss that this year)I know that you are still with me and you listen to me now as you always did.I just hope that next year it will be easier to cope. Still MISS you very very much and LOVE you my very BEST friend.

Well, Hello there God Mother, Well it's Easter weekend and I have been thinking about you so very much. On holy Thursday it was so very hard knowing that just last year I told you that I would be there this year and you replied to me saying "Does that mean youll be home here" and I said yes it dose now get home yourself. If I had only known that those would be the last words that I would have ever gotten from you I would have left to got to you then. Now you are gone and life is so very hard without you here I mean first Mommom Then Poppop Then my Mother I thought I would be growing old with you and we would be playing scrabble and talking about all the fun times. Now I am all alone. Well I am making a trip back to Philly most likely for the last time. I am going to come to visit you and my Mother on her birthday and also to see Mommom and Poppop as well. So the next time I come back to Philly I will be coming to the condo for my stay. I just hope it will be soon. Love and miss you more then words can ever express.
Love your Godchild,
David

Hello girlfriend,
What a difficult holiday this was. I was sure that I would be so busy that I was would not have too much time to think of you. I was wrong. As I put out the decorations there you were amongst the lenox figurines and candle holders. Our Christmas tree was laced with so many decorations that you gave to me, Angela, Bill, Billy and Mom over the years. Putting out the stockings there were the ones you gave us from Avon not to mention the calendar that hangs on my door every December with the cloth mouse. The one that Ang and Billy used ( and now my grandchildren use) to Count down the days until Santa Arrives. I wish that I was able to come to your house with my family and exchange our gifts, laugh about the old days and get a hug from my very best friend. Miss you so much ....it hurts so bad some times... like now. Love Linda

Anyway this is the first time in my life that I could not call you and talk to you on Christmas eve let alone Christmas morning I feel so alone here I put up all my decorations and cried with each one that I opened even more so when I got to the one's that you gave me just last year I would never have thought that you would not be here this year I was so looking forward to making to trip there this year and surprising you . But that never happened and things are not well here at all the family has fallen apart. My sweet Aunt Liz I can't write anymore right now I can't stop crying I will write soon I love and miss you more then words could ever express I just wish you and Mom would come and take me with you. I will write soon. Love you God Son,

Yesterday I went to our Bishop Neumann Business School reunion and was in total shock. As soon as I saw Cassy Flanagan I asked if Liz (Caje) was coming to the reunion and she told me that you had passed away in May. You made Bishop Neumann my best school experience ever and I am most grateful for that. Even though we never got to the casinos together or kept in touch like I should have - you were never far from my thoughts and prayers. You were one of the most honest, nicest and sweetest person that one could have in their life. I love you and know you are with God. You will be truly missed. Love, Naomi/Kirby

My life is just never going to be the same my dear Godmother now that you are gone I have even lost my faith. You were the one that stopped me from drinking all the time after Mom passed away now I have nothing so I will drink and then drink even more until the pain stops!!! Then who knows I might just be with you all then. My heart is just broken and my life will never be normal again. So I will drink until the pain stops and I have chosen to stop taking my medicine as well why bother. Love and miss you all the time!
I just cry all the time.

Dear Elizabeth,
My oldest and dearest friend,our friendship spanned 48 years.Oh life was so simple and uncomplicated during our childhood on Erie Avenue.Getting french fries and fountain soda's from Ethels diner,Sitting on the steps at 3rd and Sedgley telling our dreams.Walking to St Veronica's rain or snow with out boots. Every Saturday walking to Germantown Avenue to get a hot fudge sundae and going to midnight Mass on Christmas. I remember staying at your house the night your dad woke every one up because Foopsey's kittens attacked his feet. Oh how we laughed and laughed.We grew as individuals yet we remained bonded. You were with me during the good times my graduation from Little Flower and St Joe's.You were my Maid of Honor and Godmother to Angela. You were with me when my dad died and sat with me during Angela's heart surgery the most difficult times of my life. Thanks for making usually painful milestone birthdays ones filled with laughter and memories that will last a life time.Turning 40 in AC and 50 in Vegas was the best!
We shared our Birthdays, Holidays,we shared life events,our families and friends. I'm really not sure how life is supose to go on with out you. Looking into the faces of your family as we prayed for a miracle we gathered strength from each other. But it seemed that God had bigger plans for you. I take comfort knowing that you will be around looking after those you love. I am waiting and looking forward to the time when we will be together again.
I miss you my girlfriend and I love you forever,
Linda

I miss you so very much my sweet Godmother I know everyone keeps telling me that you are watching over us but I would rather you be here! Also everyone keeps saying you are no longer in pain, I had no idea that you were in that much pain I kept asking if you wanted me to come home and you just kept saying you were fine. now your gone and I am here all alone. I know I have other loved ones here but they are not you and it just isn't the same I cry all the time. This is going to be the worst birthday ever!!!!

What a heartbreak. Liz was a friend of mine for many years (1983). She was the happiest person I have ever known. When I met her finally in 1987 (King of Prussia) her smile and personality were even more vibrant than my expectations. A truly exceptional person, caring friend and professional. She TRULY LOVED her family. My condolences to her entire family. I wish Liz and I could have had one more visit.

I am so moved by the outpour of love and affection for my Godmother, Elizabeth. The kind words have touched my heart. I included a poem as I believe it is fitting.
God Saw You Getting Tired:
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best
There are no words that can express how much your friendship meant to me.
My Godmother – I love you always and forever!
Your Alliecat

Fogarty family: I was stunned when I read the email that Liz had passed. It brought tears to my eyes that such good person like Liz would be gone at such a young age. I met Liz in 1987 and she had such a bubbling personality that made not only my day but everyones' day in the office. She taught and helped me a lot. Every time I see a Phillies game I will think of her. My deepest condolences to all.

I want to express my sympathies to all of you at this time. Liz was a classmate of mine from BNBS - Class of 1969. Liz was so full of life, love and beauty. Though we haven't had too much contact over the years, she will always be a part of me. She is in God's arms now and will rest well.

Elizabeth was truly a saint! She was always pleasant & kind to all she met. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. She told me everytime she saw me how much she loved me and it always meant so much. I cut her hair consistently every 4 weeks so I had the pleasure of her company for which I am grateful. She was always so nice to talk to. I loved her very much & will miss her smile, cute laughter & most of all the love she gave. I know she has a special place in heaven. Cousin Jeannie (twin)
