My dearest Liz, as we come upon the first anniversary of your passing , it´s hard to believe it´s been a year . Life has been hard this past year without your friendship. The world seems a bit dimmer without you in it . But I am glad we had almost 20 years of friendship. Thinking of you in heaven (hope you are with Mook!)

Liz, I miss you everyday. The world is a little less bright now that you're gone. It took me this long to write this message because of the pain. You were a loving and genuine friend and I thank God everyday that we were friends. REST in peace and enjoy being in God's warm embrace. Looking forward to seeing you on the other side one day!

Sending my deepest sympathy to Elizabeth's family and friends and coworkers. What a special, kind, thoughtful person. She was truly a "nurse's nurse", cared tremendously for others. Smart. Funny. Generous. Loved to bake for her family and friends. I will remember her for her empathy - she had a way of listening with her whole heart and meeting you where you were. We shared many laughs and yes shared tears too. Sometimes laughter and tears both at same time, such is the complexity of life. What a loss for all of us. I worked with Elizabeth at NEMG and we became friends. Rest in peace, my gentle friend.

I only met Elizabeth just a few years ago when we began working together and then grew as friends. I knew her to be someone with a kind and generous heart. My thoughts and prayers are with all those grieving her loss.
