Spending time with Liz was always an adventure and always fun - there was literally never a dull moment when Liz was around. She had a heart of gold and was a great friend. Im so lucky to have shared 15 years of friendship but still not nearly enough. Heartbroken and saddened to lose such a special person. Liz will never be forgotten and the memories of the times we spent together will always bring a smile to my face.

Im shocked and very sad to hear about Lizs passing. What a wonderful guide she was when we, as her childhood neighborhood friends, came to New York City to visit. Shower is the best places and hung out with us all night, showing us the time of our lives. Prayers to her beloved mother and children, family and friends during this very tragic time.

Liz was the first friend I made at Lake Highland when my family moved from NYC in 1987. I was a senior and the only black person in my grade. Liz acted like she knew me forever and was just so friendly and talkative she put me at ease. I haven't spoken to her in years but I'm so sorry to hear about her passing and my condolences to her family.
