Oh Liz, this hurts my heart so much. You were a bright light in my life. From our days at NAMI when you so beautifully created the Artists Program. It was brilliant and you shined your brightest working with all the artists. I loved that about you. I loved your sense of humor, your Facebook posts that brought a smile to my face, your fantastic photography, your love of your cabin and dogs, your love of your family and friends, your style of dress, your beautiful smile. Don't think for a second that you're not missed here earth-side. Enjoy your glorious reunion with your mother. I'm sure Heaven is being dazzled by you right now. I'll miss you.

Yesterday
My dear, dear friend, Liz, you were like a daughter to me, as well as a treasured friend. I’m so overwhelmed to think that I won’t b able to pick up the phone and just talk. We laughed putting up Halloween decorations a couple of days before you passed. You always made me laugh. You and Nerissa were my heroes and now u both r gone. This time of year u two would get together to watch scary movies and eat junk food. U went through so many hard times but just kept on going. I’ll miss our long talks, visits to your beloved cabin, lunches, your dogs, Hawaii, writing retreats that really turned more into girl sleepovers, lunches, and so much more. But more than anything, I will just miss you! You r a light that drew people to u like moths to a fire. Your spirit was so strong. And your creativity, intelligence, humor, love, dogs, persistence, kindness, leadership, and courage, will leave a void in my heart that will always be there.
Goodbye my sweet friend until we see each again. I send my love to all your family at this time and deepest sympathy.

I'm so sorry for the loss of a courageous soul and great friend, Liz. We meet while working at UNI as certified peer support specialists. We remained friends and loved to go for pancakes together. My thoughts and prayers are with Liz's family and her beloved dog.

Liz - I remember our time at NAMI. You were the embodiment of love and compassion; always caring about me and my son. You touched my heart and my soul. I am missing you so much right now. Until we meet again. Love you.

I am so deeply saddened by this news... I think so fondly of you and your love for animals, skills in photography, and ability to always find the words to say (funny or supportive). We never did get the chance to trade stories like we always talked about. But, I hope I can live up to your level of adventurism and respect of nature.
With much love

Liz, it hurts my heart so much to think of you being gone. I loved working with you at NAMI and appreciate everything you did there, especially your work with the Artists Project. I'm so glad I have your work hanging on my walls, both at home and at NAMI. Love you to pieces, my redheaded friend!

I believe I taught Elizabeth at Judge.
I DO remember her, so fondly. I believe her cousin, Megan, and she were in the Drama program, Elizabeth more peripherally.
I very much support NAMI and all harm reduction efforts.
Please accept my condolences.

Oh Liz, I´m so very sad that you have left this world! I loved your humor, your strength, your advocacy for mental health, women´s rights, animals, and all good things! You were passionate, creative, and had the biggest heart. You leave a huge void that can never be filled. My powerful and sweet friend. I hope I find you in quiet moments.
