Elizabeth was a wonderful person who was taken too soon. We have known her for over 10 years, and she was always the brightest light in the room. She always saw the good in people, and inspired others to do the same. The world is a little bit dimmer today, but if we all remember how she lived her life, we can help it get brighter again.
Love forever,

Dear Gale: There are no words that can express my sadness at Liz's; death, I just wish we had been closer after Norma's death. But that joy just did not happen. I had 26 years with Norma abd you were fortunate to have had 54 years with Liz.. Enjoy the memories. You are also vvery forrtunate to have wonderful support from your family. It will take time to come to grips with your grief. I have been using the Hospice grief counseling offered here. It has helped. Again, my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your soul mate.
