Pete, and family, words will never explain how much Elizabeth meant to us both. For me, I have had so much love and respect for her, since we were younger. Our lives filled with laughter, old fashion times, just way too much to ever express how difficult this is all for all of you and us. She was the bright spot in so many lives, strong faith, kept her going the way she did. I will never ever forget her, my visits with her, our cuddling time, sharing special thoughts still are felt in my heart and mind.All of you had a true gift from God, and she was always your Angel, and will always be there for all of you in spirit. I know there is a void in many of our lives,she will never be far away,for she is and will be with all of us for ever.. Much love and prayers for all of you.
Dear Pete, Alex, Dino, Louanne, Peter, Julie, Deidre, Becky, George, Joe, Dominic and families.
May the Lord pour His peace over you and comfort you in the loss of your beloved, Elizabeth. She was such a beautiful woman, inside and out. She will be missed more than any of us can express. Her love, faith and grace will be her legacy. I feel so blessed to have had her for a friend, sister in Christ and sister in law. You will all be in my prayers as you travel this journey of grieving the loss of
your precious Elizabeth.
