It was with great sadness I just learned of Liz’s passing. I was out of the country 2/4–11 on vacation. My deepest sympathies to the family, Liz was a sweet lady. I enjoyed getting to know her after she married Milo. I was lucky to share in some wonderful dinner parties with the two of them.

Liz lived next door to my sister for many years. Although I did not see her that frequently, when we did see each other – we always took up right where we left off. My sincere sympathy to her family and her friends. We were all lucky to have known her.

I married Becky; Becky has a brother Randy which is married to Ruth. Ruth’s mom is Liz, and that is how I met Liz. It was during wonderful family functions and get togethers that I have the fondest memories of her. Liz was a great lady that truly cared about people. She took the time to listen; she asked insightful questions because she cared, and for myself…she believed in me.

She was a great chef, whenever I was invited to her place for Thanksgiving or Christmas, my tummy jumped for joy because every meal I had that she prepared was perfect, and I never turned down “seconds”.

Most of all, if you knew Liz you knew that she loved God. His light shined through her, and blessed her. Her life was a witness and everything that I know she did, she did because she loved God. Her faith touched me; I never said how much it did to anybody. It is something that I admired and loved about her. With all of my heart, I know if there is anyone that is with God in heaven and at peace, it is Liz.

Truly my only regret is that the time I knew her was too short, and that we never shared our one meal we had forever planned to eat together. It is that sardine sandwich, with rye bread, and a big fat pickle that for over ten years we said we would eat together.

I will miss you Liz, your smile and the warmth that you showed me will be what I remember the most about you. I won’t get too sad because I know you are in a better place, and all I have to do is get Ruth smiling and laughing, and in her eyes…I will see you.

Elizabeth will be missed at Simsbury Condominiums. While she did not live at Simsbury very long, she was part of our family. I truly enjoyed her kind and gentle spirit. She was a great neighbor, always friendly and ready to help someone in need. My heartfelt prayers go out to Elizabeth’s family. Your loss is great.

Liz was a kind and wonderful lady. She made really good chicken and dumplings! We’ll miss her too. God bless you Liz!

I don’t remember the first time I met Liz, I just have the feeling that she has been present in my husband John Muramatsu’s family for ever… Liz told me once that she knew John when he was “just a bump”. It’s true. It is also true that the Muramatsu’s treasured Liz’s expertise in the kitchen. Margie told me years ago, “if Liz made it, you know it’s going to be good”, and she was right. I have alot of good memories of her and

I’ll miss Liz very much.
