My deepest sympathies to Elisabeth's family. I will always remember her for her kindness. She was always so sweet to me. I had told her husband how I will never forget when she found me in the Wegman's with a stiff neck. She was so concerned. All I could think of was how could she be so concerned about this little thing when she is going through so much? It is because she had a great heart and surely has a seat in heaven.

Ed,Frankie and Echo,
First of all I am so sorry for your loss. Liz was still so full of life and had so much to look forward to.
I was so glad I visited with her in the hospital in December. We had a good time talking about when all of you were little. It brought back such good memories and I know that is what you will do - keep all the memories and tell your kids all about her.
You are in our thoughts and prayers
