I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I got to know Liz through breastcancer org. Liz was an amazing support and friend to me throughout and I will miss her advice and humour on the boards so very much. Condolences to all Liz's family and especially to McKenzie; she was so very proud of her son!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I "met" Liz first at www.breastcancer.org where we found that we were not only fellow survivors but neighbors! She was so full of energy and enthusiasm and absolutely gushed over McKenzie. A prouder mama I have never met!

We started meeting at the Y and she worked so hard to improve her health - and did!

I am lucky to have known her.
