Liz was a neighbor of mine on Blackmore Pd in West Wareham, MA. I remember her out sunbathing and hearing her alarm clock going off for her to turn over.

John, we are in disbelief that the world has lost such a beautiful soul. We are so proud that we had an opportunity to know Liz and hear her laughter and feel the joy of her being. We are selfishly sorry that we will not have more of those moments in our future and our hearts go out to you and your family. Liz brought a great deal of brightness into this world and her memory will be one that we always cherish. Our love to you all.
