I was Lizzy's math teacher and dorm parent at Cascadilla. She had a great spirit of adventure and a lot of energy. Her passing is hard to believe.

I just found out about Lizzy's passing. I was deeply sadden by the news. I loved Lizzy very much. I hadn't seen her in some time. Several years back Lizzy stayed in my home. She was a friend of my son's. My heart goes out to the family. I know what it is like to loose a child. I pray for peace in your hearts today and always. May the good Lord give you comfort. She is greatly missed by many. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the out. I truly cannot believe she is gone. With sympathy and prayers. Until we meet again. I love you Lizzy

I went to Cascadilla school with her and have often wondered where all she ended up. I saw some thing online but am saddened to see this. I have some photos from younger years if anyone would want them.
