I am so saddened to hear of Liz's passing. I was just googling her to get back in touch. Liz was a dear friend who I met when she lived in Atlanta, GA before she moved to Tucson. She was passionate and loving and taught me a lot about myself and others. She had such a fun person with a great smile and zest for life. I send my belated condolences to her family and all who loved this very special woman.

I had the pleasure of working with Liz on the Family Arts Festivals as well as during my tenure on the TPAC board. She was sharp, capable in all tasks and very easy to work with on any project. Added to these qualities were her great smile & friendly manner. My sincere thoughts & prayers are with her family.
