Having worked with Liz for several years on the Provider's Conference at our property her loss will be felt not just by myself but those whose lives she touched on a daily basis. (Raidisson Hotel Edmonton South)

Couragous and loving, a friend to all who knew her. Helped every one with her kind words and smile. We will truly miss you. (from Wee Care Family Day Homes)

Elizabeth was my dearest friend for over 31 years, we emigrated to Canada within two months of each other. Both Mike and Liz left us far too soon and it is with greatest of sadness that i say goodbye to you. Rest assured we will watch over your family for rest of our days and be at peace knowing your memory will live long in my heart. From the Lucas family to the Barker family we will always be with you.

I am finding it so very difficult to express the words to tell you,Robyn,Kirsty & Lloyd and close family friends how heartbroken I am at the untimely loss of my lovely caring,fun loving sister,Lizzie. Such a battle so bravely fought . The only consolation is that Lizzie will will be joining her beloved Hubby and parents in the Heavens.I will forever cherish the many happy memmories.Another star shines in the Heavens now.Your sis, Marylyn and hubby Bob.

Courageous, caring, giving, humorous. These are just four words I would use to describe my dear friend Liz. You fought so hard to overcome the illness that took you too soon. I look forward to spending Saturday with your family and friends, reminiscing about the good times we shared with you! I am so fortunate to have had you in my life. I tried (several times) to see you over the last year, and you did everything you could to avoid me...because you didn't want me to remember you the way you were in sickness...you wanted me to remember you in health! Thank you...see, you are always thinking of others! God bless you my friend...We will meet again some day! xoxoxo

It was a privilege to care for Mrs.Barker over the last 18 months. She had a lot of spunk and an infectious positive attitude. Even in the midst of her own challenges, she made time to care for other patients and encourage them in their own journey. She was a terrific lady and I am glad I got to know her.

Liz has been our dear sister in law for 40 years and we are so happy to have spent time with Mike and Liz a few years ago on our long overdue holiday in Canada. No one could have done more to make this a true holiday of a lifetime. We did have some laughs and Liz introduced me to Peach Bellinis. Always in our thoughts and we look forward to seeing the Barker crowd from Canada over in England to visit us all and see our babies. Love you loads Lloyd, Kirsty and Robyn and wish we could be there with you at this terrible time. Be strong and stick together always, remember we are only at the end of a phone line. Julie and Dave
