What an incredible soul of yours, Elizbeth! I want to thank you (too late now, I know) for asking about my mother's health, without fail, every time I saw you or spoke with you! (She's in her 3rd year of remission.) You were always thinking of others and spreading joy. My biggest regret is never being able to make it to the potlucks... I guess I just let everyday life get in the way. I know you were eager to know the gender of the baby I'm carrying now, and maybe now you DO know! I don't yet... but I'll whisper it up to you on May 11th!
Miss you SO much, dear Elizabeth. May the restrictions that held you down in life be lifted now. Soar, Elizabeth. Soar.
Love Always,
Brenna

Elizabeth was in my 4th grade class at Inlet View. A special thing that happened that year was that one of the other girls in the class made a special point of befriending her. Thanks to Jordan, by the end of the year most of the girls understood Elizabeth's special beauty. I only talked with her once after 4th grade but she will always have a special place in my heart. May wonderful memories comfort you in this time of loss.

Elizabeth was a one in a million kind of person. One would have to go far to find another person so unselfish and loving like her. She showed us that even though sometimes the odds are against us, you will never lose with a smile on your face and being true to yourself. You will be greatly missed, but you have inspired us to be kind to the next person we meet that needs help or to remember to smile. It's good to know that in a world so prejudiced there are still people that love you for who you are.
You're with your mom now and safe from the world. No more worries.
We all love you!
Your little swiss miss - Fabienne (Fuerer) Cunningham

My heart is breaking but I know that she is with her mom again. I have known Elizabeth since we were just kids in Alice and Wonderland. She was the Queen of Hearts. How appropriate is that? She made all of our hearts swell with her kindness and warm spirit. We did theater conservatory for years together. We had our own little family for three months a year that we were absolutely heartbroken to leave when the school year started back up. I always hated it because I knew it would be a while until I saw her again. She will be so sorely missed and I just wish I could tell her how much I am going to miss her. Elizabeth is a truly inspirational person. I feel that she taught us all that if you are open and let people into your heart, you will be fulfilled and you will have a family and you will be special. Elizabeth showed us to love everyone without prejudice. She was amazing. I'll miss her so very, very much.

Elizabeth was one of my "kids" at the Boys and Girls Club School Age Childcare in her grade school days. She was a joy to me and I cherrish all my memories of her in our years together there. Through the years it's always been a treat to bump into Elizabeth at the grocery or the mall...her positive, upbeat, loving personality never failed and I will treasure her memory always.

Elizabeth was a great friend of mine. She and I date back to the 2nd grade. I was so happy to be in touch with her again and was looking forward to pot lucks at her house this summer. She was a ray of sunshine at Inlet View, and a complete riot in our days at West. I'll miss her tremendously and am so pleased to see the responses from people's lives she has touched.

To Elizabeth's family,
I was sincerely shocked and saddened to learn of Elizabeth's passing. She was a student of mine at Romig Middle School. She was an absolute delight and ALWAYS had a smile on her face. Elizabeth dear, you will be missed. May your cheerful spirit live on in the many, many, hearts you've touched.
Warmly and with much love, Chantel

Elizabeth was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. I have so many positive memories with that girl. She is definetly someone that will always have a spot in my heart. I grew up with her, she lived in the first U as we used to call it...on 29th st. We walked home the long way home so we could talk. I am so happy that you and your mother are together again. No more suffering. You will forever be remembered by your bright aura and beautiful smile. I love you.

You will be missed by all, You have touched so many lives, the first time I met you We were in the 6th grade at the boys and girls club, then we didnt talk much, but I do remember you sitting at the table eating your lunch, and being happy and laughing the whole time.. Then In high school, we were practicly best friends.. You me and hayley, ate lunch together and roamed the halls alomost everyday! And in Mr. sturgeons class.. That was the funnest with you! Sitting at your table singing to everyone.. with the biggest smile and laughter! and I remember back freshman year going to a party at your house, that sure was fun!
**Now you are at a better place there with your mom.. You will no longer miss her! you are with her forever!**
I will miss you!!!

The first time I met Elizabeth was nearly 20 years ago when we were both attending summer activities and the Boys and Girls Club, though she was 4 years older than myself I would to see her on occassion throughout my life at West High, UAA and walking all over town. Though we were never friends I couldn't help but smile everytime I saw her, she had the most genuine smile that truly lit up any room.
