Dear Dan, Just learned of the passing of Liz from the Marywood alumnae newsletter. So many fond memories of you and Liz! I am so sorry for your loss. The last time I talked with Liz she was so comforting to me after the sudden death of my daughter. I will keep Liz in my thoughts and prayers. Hope your many wonderful memories are bringing you some peace on your grief journey.
Much love, Mavourneen Cahill Kelly

Dan, Kevin, Katie, Patrick...
I'm so very sorry to hear about Liz. Any time I drive by Cambridge Lane I think of the Lyman family. I would go over to babysit but Liz always made time to talk to me. I still have pictures from the trip to Hawaii.
Another wonderful Angel is up in Heaven.
