To The Snyder and Luhr Family. It is with grear sadness to hear of the loss of Elizabeth. She as a writer definitely brought joy, laughter, tears, but mostly laughter watching DOOL. I have not laughed or been so thoroughly entertained watching and enjoying stories she may have had a part in. The DOOL writer really do an awesome job keeping their viewing audience thoroughly entertained. I'm never bored. Elizabeth has entitled lasting memories and will always live on through her work. May Jehovah bless all of you and k÷p you strong during your time of mourning.

My mother watched Days on the very first episode. I grew up with it on every day. By the time I was an adult I was a true fan. Even though I didn't know who was writing the story lines, I have enjoyed them very much.! I am from ky and doubt that I would have had a chance to know Betsy personally. Maybe her writing allowed all of us to know her in a small way. my sympathy goes out to her family,
friends, and co workers. She will be missed by us all. Being a true Days of our Lives fan, I will miss her talent. I will say a prayer for everyone who cared about her. Thank you Betsy for all the entertainment you brought to us all these many years. Sincerely, Karen

I met Betsy when our boys ran cross country for Loyola high school. We became good friends and kept in touch long after our boys left and went off to college. We've kept in touch over the years, exchanging emails, meeting for dinner and getting together with other Loyola moms. I will miss Betsy and her wonderful friendship. She is gone but never forgotten
