Elizabeth had a smile that brought the whole world into balance. She illuminated a room, brought sunlight into the darkness, flashed teeth so white it dazzled. Her warmth probably added to global warming but in a good way. She was welcoming & loving & full of good news. Her life & love & creativity is to be admired…….and followed by us all who mourn her death…..and hopeful new life. I celebrate her…..and hope Janet & Elizabeth’s family can find solace in having had such a dear, dear mother & companion these many years. Love to all.

I’ve only known Elizabeth for a short while, She had the most amazing spirit, so creative and giving. I feel blessed to have known her. I admire the love and strength that Janet showed Elizabeth , may god bless your family.

I was so sorry to hear you have left us. I remember meeting you the first time at Seven Mile Fair with Janet. You greeted me warmly and extend both hands to me. I instantly felt I knew you. I enjoyed chatting with you at the dental office and our outing to Lulu’s. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with me and Pat. It is incredible. You truly had an eye for all things different, unique and beautiful………maybe because you are. I know you will be missed very much. Please tell Janet to let us be there to help. You always had a special influence on her lol. I hope you are in a special place and someday we will meet again. Until then 🙂
