I was deeply saddened to hear the news of Liz's passing. I only knew her for a brief time at Bishop's, as she graduated during my second year. She certainly left a very positive impression on a then very young student. I truly believe that the mark and impression she has left on this earth will never fade away.

Dear Mary Lynne
We have known each other for more than 30 years, and I find myself
closing my eyes each night thinking of you and the long long road ahead for you.
It will be a difficult path with winding ways, and bumps and forks in the road ahead, but, after 30 years, I know without a doubt that you have the strength and faith to go on the way Elizabeth would have wanted you to. Faith and time are the eternal healers. I feel certain that at this tender time you must feel that the healers cannot ease the constant unending throbbing heartache that lives within you, but they will indeed come to you and embrace you every day for the rest of your life.
Elizabeth will live on in your strength, your faith and your love for her children.
You are one strong woman- you always have been and you will continue to be. Lean on your friends, your faith your family and your community. They are all there for you.

Dear Mary Lynne, Sean, Katy, and Pearson,
I cannot think of Elizabeth without remembering her quiet radiance and her beautiful smile. Whether it was as a teenager singing at Woodroffe United or as a mom caring for her children, she seemed to embody a gentleness that I think we all would like to express.
Katy and Pearson: Your mama was a beautiful and generous woman. When she found out that I was expecting, she immediately loaned me her entire maternity wardrobe - I have never looked so stylish in my life! I remember one occasion when Katy would have been about 18 months old, and we spent a lovely afternoon in my family room, watching our girls play, drinking tea, and talking about the joys and frustrations of motherhood. She was very thoughtful in her approach, and reflected carefully upon the way she parented you. She was a few months further down the road than I was, and inspired me to believe in my own instincts when I met with my own challenges along the way.
May you all feel the love and support of your wide circle of friends and extended family in this sorrowful time. Elizabeth's radiance will continue in each of our hearts. I feel blessed to have known her.
Love,
Elizabeth, Max, and Victoria Shaw

Dearest Sean,
I'm so sorry, their really are no words. I wish your children the best in recovery. I remember when you brought Liz around in the very beginning, I envied your admiration for each other. I can count how many times I met Liz on one hand, but I can tell you she was a wonderful person, and a perfect match for you.
My family sends their sympathies for all of you, during this very trying time.

Dear Sean, Katy and Pearson,
I just learned of your tragedy - I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. I lived on the same floor as Liz during our first year at Bishops and she was always a smiling, friendly face. The world is a sadder place without her, but richer because of her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Kathy and Pearson: I worked with your mother for a few years at CIDA and was always impressed by your mother's kindness and calm under stressfull conditions. Two events will always remain in my memory: her computer skills as a rapporteur during a office retreat (she really impressed me) and her dedication during the last United Way compaign (she was Campaign's chair for Policy Branch). She told me she was working on this while giving you a bath! This says a lot about her commitment. You can be proud of your mother. Be certain she is looking after you from where she is.
Dear Sean and Marylin: I do not know you and was on holidays when the accident happened so I did not attend the funeral service. Having lost a loved one recently, I understand your grief: events like this are hard to understand but perhaps Elizabeth's mission on earth was accomplished and her untimely passage has a purpose. Be certain my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear MaryLynne, Sean and family: Over the past two weeks I have struggled to put into words the extent of this tragedy and simply couldn't find them. Then I read an exert from "The Dash" by Linda Ellis and Mac Anderson. I then realized that Elizabeth had lived her "Dash" to the fullest. Be glad that you had the privilege of having Elizabeth in your lives and remember her with happiness and pride.

We are shocked and filled with sadness by this tragic news. Our thoughts are with you and we are part of your local community of support. We’ve been fortunate to meet your family this past year around our neighbourhood and through the OCMC, (Katy and Pearson are inspiring children and companions of Mikaela). On our way to the Centre we’d often notice Elizabeth on her bicycle, leaning forward, pulling on the handle bars and turning the peddles with strong strokes—towing both Katy in a child seat and Pearson in a trailer. Meeting up in the drop off area at the Centre, Elizabeth would generously offer a bright smile while she was busy getting her children ready to go in the door. We got a sense of her heart and spirit on these occasions and a little inspiration to be active and mindful of the environment.
With our sincerest condolences,
David, Anna Marie and Mikaela

Dear Sean, Katy, and Pearson,
I knew Liz from our learning how to be Moms together during our maternity leave times. I loved talking to LIz any chance I got - running with Strollercize, playing at the schoolbus park, and riding the bus to work together. She was an incredible woman and mother. I was always inspired to be a better person after spending time with Liz. She was a role model as a mother. I loved talking with her about parenting, especially about nursing our children. I always learned from her insight and wanted to know her better.
love Jane (mother of Claire 4, and Madeleine,2)

Dear Sean, Katy, Pearson & Family:
We were shocked & saddened to hear the tragic news about your precious wife & mom. She was taken far too soon... Although we did not know her personally, we remembered your/her kindness last summer for inviting our family to stay at your cottage. I don't think we ever thanked you both enough afterwards for your generous hospitality, as the kids especially enjoyed that taste of "cottage life", rides in the canoe, playing in the sand, etc.! I knew you both must have been exceptional people, to have been so kind to a coworker & family. Many would not. We remember seeing photos there of unforgettable happy family times, of Elizabeth with her kids, at the cottage. This all seems such an unimagineable nightmare!
As a spouse & parent of young children too, we too mourned your loss... If there is anything we can do to help, in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us.
You will continue to be in our thoughts, as we know the weeks and months to come will be challenging for you all! We also pray for little Pearson's full recovery, but have heard he has improved, which we hope continues!
Thinking of you with sincere sympathy,
Bill, Janet, Ryan & Caitlin Seguin

Dear Sean and Mary Lynne,
Our words seem empty at times like this. We are still in shock over the news of Elizabeth's tragic death. Our hearts are heavy for your loss, and you and your precious children are in our prayers.
We truly enjoyed working with Elizabeth (and Sean) during the Woodroffe Church Bizarres and we were blessed to have known such a wonderful woman.
Words, however kind, can't mend your heartache: but those who care & share your loss wish you comfort and peace of mind. May you find strength in the love and warm embrace of friends.
with much love & hugs

My thoughts are with you.

Elizabeth was a role model for patience, dedication and generosity. I will remember struggling to enjoy a coffee at Bridgehead with her while our kids jumped around or passing each other at school drop-offs and chatting about the day. I will never forget her big beautiful eyes and her smile. She was considered in her approach to things and was committed to helping others. I became friends with Elizabeth through our children and I will continue to see her in them and in Sean. I am proud to say I knew her and enjoyed her hospitality, generosity and friendship over the brief few years that I knew her.

To all Liz's family-
I was so terribly saddened to hear that Liz was no longer in our world. We had grown up together and she was one of my best friends in grade school. Although we drifted apart in high school we always made time to touch base every once in a while and share a laugh... and her laugh was incredibly infectious. Liz was one of the kindest and most open-hearted people I've known. She will always remain part of some of my happiest childhood memories. My deepest sympathies for your overwhelming loss. I know that Liz will be dearly missed by all that knew her.

My deepest sympathies to you and the rest of the family. I remember the day Sean told me he had met Elizabeth. He knew she was "the one" from the moment they met. When I met her I knew she was perfect for him in every way possible. She loved him and her children and she loved and embraced life. She was and will always be his match. I always admired her grace, and wisdom, and humour. I used to jokingly tell her I wanted to be just like her when I finally decided to grow up. I admired her greatly and will miss her more. My love to you all. She will never be forgotten.

Dear Sean,
When we first met Elizabeth we were surprised that such an incredibly beautiful person, inside and out was your wife. Yet, she was your perfect Yang. Only her could be “blamed” for your singing every morning as you come in the office. The entire floor at Coventry building knew how much you loved Elizabeth, from the stories you told us, and also from your phone calls to her (yes, those cubicle walls are very thin.)
We loved her laugh and how she rolled her eyes when you talked about your encounters (national and international). We loved the way you looked at each other. Her devotion to you and your children is beyond words. We feel blessed to have known her.
Dear friend, just know that you are not alone in your grief, your friends are crying with you.

There are no words to describe my sadness and sorrow about Liz's passing. She and I were friends in high school but then lost touch as time went by.

I can't believe she is gone! Liz was one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever known. Liz, Katy and I lived together for 2 years at Bishop's. During those two years Liz managed to write an Honours thesis while being Student Council President. She was destined for greatness. She lived each and every minute of life with a smile. I feel a deep sense of sadness. It is a great loss for everyone.
My prayers are with you during this saddest of times,

To All,
As you sign this guest book I ask that you also consider writing down a memory of Elizabeth to share with her children who will cherish any insight into their mother's spirit as they grow older. We will be collecting those notes this weekend at the church. If you cannot be there please feel free to contact me at my email address.
She was my other side and I will miss her greatly.

I knew Liz in high school (AY Jackson); we were then very good friends. The years following school we lost touch but I thought of her often and wondered how she was. Since hearing about the tragedy of Friday night my thoughts have been focused on the great memories of our youth and prayers for Liz's children, husband, and her mom. I am grateful for the time Liz touched my life and I will never forget the beautiful person she was.
May she find great peace in heaven and watch over her family and give them strength.

Dear Sean and family,
I knew Elizabeth from Bishop's University and I know that I speak on behalf of the entire Bishop's community when saying that we are all very saddened to hear the news of her death. She was such a vibrant woman... so full of kindness and empathy for others. I am so very sorry for your loss and wish you strength and peace during this time.
Kind regards,
Alison Cail Radford

It was a pleasure and honour to have worked with Liz on the environmental issues she held so dear. We will miss her smile and sincerity on the Canadian delegation. My thoughts are with her family in this difficult time.

Dear Liz. It is with great sadness when I learned about your tragic accident, I was hoping to hear that it wasn't "our Liz" as all of us said in the office. May I express my sincere condolences, my prayers to her husband Shawn, her children and her mother Mary Lyne, I know how hard it is for close family to go through this difficult time. God bless you all and give you the strength to carry on in a good life spirit. Liz you will be missed and your smile was contagious. Sincerely

Mary Lynne:
Avis Densmore called to tell me of this tragic news. My heart aches for you and this loss. I remember meeting your blessed daughter at the church and her radiant smile had a rare warmth. There are not words to describe what has happened, know only that you are not alone, that many people you have touched are opening their hearts to God in prayer and lifting up your name. Tears are in my eyes, you are not alone in your grief.
Blessings,
