Liz was a wonderful lady in every way that lived for her family and particularly her grandchildren. I would have loved, and in fact looked forward to getting to know her better. She will be missed and was loved by many, many people.

Dear Al and family, we are so sorry to hear of Liz;s passing and offer our deepest prayers during these trying times. It seems like only yesterday that we saw Liz on the beach in Naples and discussed all of the good old times as neighbors. May God be with you as he is with Liz now. Your friends Ray and Phyllis Cote.

Dear Linda & Family - First of all, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with your Aunt Monica for many years and every time she talked about your Mom she would refer to her as a "Saint"�. And when we'd kind of chuckle, she'd say, "No, I'm serious. You should see the way she takes care of our parents, she is an honest-to-goodness living Saint!"� So may the memories of your own personal Saint stay with you forever. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Greg & Tammy Roou (St. Mary's)
