Elizabeth Davies

Elizabeth and Bert: one only remembers the special moments of live and of course, we forget so fast. Remembering and concentrating on what is important in life and going to strive every day to be kind, generous, and a loving person as you, Elizabeth. Remembering we are not dying, not anymore than any of us are at any moment. We run, hopefully as fast as we can, and then everyone must stop. We can only choose how we handle the race. Our hearts are with you at all times, every time one leaves home and go to another place… we open the possibility of having something wonderful happen. My warmest thoughts Bert, love always

Although I did not see you as much as I'd like, you were often on my mind and always in my heart... I cherish the memory of the good times we knew and look forward to the day when we see each other again...and I know the joy of your presence will warm my world just as the thought of you now warms my heart... To Uncle Bert...You always listened with your heart, giving without expecting anything in return, knowing how much a kind word means...those are the ways you live by...those are lessons of love you've taught me.
Love Always to you both, your neice.

Dear Elizabeth!
I never met you, but still I feel that we knew each other a little bit. That is because of all the mails Bert sent to us, your family in Norway. He kept us updated on your condition. I believe you had a very good support in Bert, he stood by your side. I know your life must have been difficult at times. I hope you now can rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to the nearest family, especially your father Wilhelm / Bill, who is my fathers cousin. And to your husband Bert. I know he loved you very much.

Dear Elizabeth

It is hard to believe that 20 years have passed since you and Bert gave me such a warm greeting on my first day of church. It has even been 16 years since you assisted Patti and I on the lawn of the old Union Steamship General Store to be married. It was so hot, but, you were so cool and set us both at ease. You always seemed to have a particular calmness.

There were those amazing times we visited with you to work in the vegetable garden, go swim at the beach and then gather to cook some the wonderful fruits of the garden and have a barbecue. There was your effective method of getting rid of wasps -- throw some food on the lawn. Then, having partaken in such a healthy bounty, we splurged on a seemingly greater bounty of ice cream and dessert. Later, there was popcorn, swimming in butter. You showed us that it was possible to pop corn in a pot without touching the pot. The popcorn popped itself. Finally, Bert would say goodnight and you would sit and talk, explaining that soon we would hear that preacher with the powerful voice on the radio and later Bert snoring on top of the radio that was turned up so loud. We all had such laughs in those days. Remember? It was before you built the house. In those days your house was an old trailer and Patti and I slept in that old camper. The place was in a field with a very old barn and there were piles of junk everywhere in the field. But, you did not complain.

Then, on one visit, we drove up your steep driveway only to find the trailer gone and a new house in it's place. You could finally get into your art since you had a room to devote to the activity. And did we marvel at your talent.

Over the years, we have become busy with our kids and not had the same time to spend with you. We have had some short visits and watched your battle grow and you courage grow even more.

Through it all, you have remained on our minds. Now we take those cherished memories of the earlier years and remember the kindness and hospitality you shared. In the later years, we remember your great courage. You have been a great example to us all. We shall certainly miss you, but, we envy that you now live in glory forever. You have finished and won the race. You have the wreath crown and are now seated with that cloud of witnesses in the stadium of glory, cheering on those of us who are still running the race.

Goodbye for now...

My Darling Elizabeth,
You will always be my precious daughter. You have been so courageous in your suffering and now your pain has gone. I will miss you and love you always.

Our Dearest Elizabeth
You touched our lives with those twinkling eyes, your beautiful smile and great hospitality. A great talent in painting you gave your family and friends. One of your paintings now adorns our home and we will treasure that gift forever. We will miss you, Elizabeth, but the memories of the joy and laughter you brought to our family will live on in our hearts for eternity.

Sue, Tom and all the Wilson family

May your hearts and souls be filled with the joyous life that Elizabeth lived. Are thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Elizabeth

You were a wonderful person. I will miss you and your smile.
Rest in peace.

Alltid freidig når du går
veier Gud tør kjenne.
Selv om du til målet når
først ved verdens ende.

Kjemp for alt hva du har kjært.
Dø om så det gjelder.
Da er livet ei så svært
Døden ikke heller.

To Bert, Nicole, Andrew, Wilhelm and Henrik, I hope you soon will be able to remember the good times.

I still have the shirt she painted for me in 1989, thought it is almost worn out. I will hang on to it as a good memory.

Take care of each other.

Love Anette in Norway

I will always remember your wonderful laugh and all the fun times we shared. Those were the best days...

Bert is my second cousin and interestingly enough I have never met Elizabeth. She happened to be having medical treatments when I did get the opportunity to visit. I have always admired Bert for his committment and dedication to Elizabeth no matter what. Elizabeth is now without pain and I know that God will help Bert through the days that follow

Louise & Noreen Waldron ( Trenholm)

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Elizabeth, rest in peace in God's arms.

Bert, let us know if there is anything we can do to help in the days ahead. We are already planning to have you for dinner but if you need anything else let us know.

Elizabeth's family - may you have comfort in knowing Elizabeth is now out of pain and at rest with God.

Although we only met Elizabeth the one time, I feel that she made a big impact on us. She was a strong person and I know she is now in a better place. We will meet again one day.

Life is here and suddenly gone
for some it's short, for others long
The answer lies beyond our reach
it's for us to learn and not to teach

Jesus is with us in times we mourn
Has never left us since we were born
With loving arms He comforts the soul
and puts our lives back into control

A time of joy and a time to weep
promises forever our soul He'll keep
Know our heart goes out to you
yet we know He'll see you through

With Deepest Sympathy!

Elizabeth was the Queen of the Rock. I felt I knew her in our conversations but never met her. She would laugh when I said lets go for a scooter ride. Through all her trials she would say( you brake me up). I love you. Come up and visit. Rest in pease Dear Elzabeth. Best Regards to all the families at this time Nancy and Leo Albrecht.

She was the Queen of the Rock.(Bowen Island). I didnt have the pleasure of actually knowing this gentle Women Elizabeth. I have been in contact with Bert now , but used to talk to her on thephone on numbers of times. I felt like I knew her better than my own flesh and blood as you would speak. Now Elizabeth you can rest without pain . Love Girl. Best Regards to all of the familes involved. Sincerely Nancy and Leo Albrecht God bless you all.

Dear Elizabeth,
I imagine you to be smiling and very much pain free. We will look after Bert for you...
love,

Rest in peace Mom, I love you. You will be missed... Your Son Andrew.

You are forever in my heart Mom, I love you...
