I thought when it said awaiting…that my blog was too long. So, as you can read I tried to shorten what I was feeling. If you can, could you erase the extras? Thanks

My education in an all girls Catholic school led to many interesting discussions with Elizabeth. She will be greatly missed…Judy, Chan, Lyn & Sue

We attended her Funeral Mass yesterday and believe that Elizabeth would have been happy with everything. I too, was educated in an all girls Catholic school and Elizabeth and I had many long and interesting discussions. She will be greatly missed…Judy, Chan, Lyn & Sue Atchley

We were there yesterday for Elizabeth’s funeral Mass and thought that she would be happy with the arrangements. Also, I too, grew up in an all girls Catholic school. Elizabeth and I had many long and interesting discussions about our earlier education. She will be greatly missed by so many…Judy, Chan, Lyn & Sue Atchley

From your tribute I would gather that your sister’s thunder will roll on long after her light has flashed out.

Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Elizabeth was a valuable and important part of our community. Losing her is like cutting out one of our mountains……we now have.a huge empty space in our landscape. She will be missed and revered for a long time. Your life sketch was elegant and touching, thank you. She did so much and we are glad for the opportunity to have had her with use for any amount of time. You are in our thoughts.

My friend Ana and I talked last night about how when something like this happens, we each felt a need to know the facts, details, all the information. That made me think of your situation, because that is what you did then.

Thanks for the thoughts.

I guess I’m a bit late in learning this, but reading it this a.m., even on the fly, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear this and, of course, let you know that I’m thinkiing of you. Bad as my memory is, I think you were one of the first people in our department to offer me condolences when my youngest brother Scott was killed. Do you recall this? It really meant a lot to me. Hang in there.
