To the whole Vissing family: I met Liz through stage managing at the Bunbury Theatre. Not only was she so very talented, she was such a nice person to know. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Liz was a long time theatre friend of my mom. My first time to meet her was in 1978 during her Champagne Brunch show at the Marriott. My mom had arranged to take my grandmother there for her 80th birthday and Liz sang "You made me love you" to her. It was very special. After that, I was in "My Fair Lady" with her at Clarksville. She was a true professional and very special lady full of love and support. Bernie and family, please know that my Mom (Ardy) and I extend to you our love, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Liz will be missed by all of us. Heaven is hearing a beautiful new angel sing!

Such a lovely, beautiful and talented lady and friend. I was privileged to not only work with Liz many times but to also call her friend. I learned from her, laughed with her, created with and loved her. Rest in peace sweet lady, I know you are singing and dancing your way around Heaven.
