What can I say to you today? It is your birthday darling Lizabeth. I am proud of you for your accomplishments and I want to tell you that I am with you girl. I want you to know that you are the previous darling I miss so much. I would have taken you shopping today, as I always did, with Kit and we would go to the lake and relax out there and shone some sunshine. I miss these days girl. I know you would have wanted to fish and maybe we could have if I had a pole. The time has passed by so quickly and I still remember you as you are today. I want you back in my life and I know that wont happen but I still care about you. I wish for you and EJ the best life possible and I wanted to be a part of it. Lizabeth forgive me for not being there for you and know I wanted to have you and your child. My guilt will precede the life I have now and I know you are with the Lord. GOD praise that happening. I can only know you are with him and that you are pleasantly happy. I miss you darling, rest in peace.
My darling Liz, it has been two years since you left your home on earth to walk with the almighty Lord. I can’t tell you what unbearable pain I feel without you in my life. I mostly try to remember the good times we had as a family, as mother and daughter and you as Kit’s Sissy. I can say without a doubt in my mind that I admire your strength, as what I thought were your weaknesses, were truly your strong spirit and your passion for life. You’re laid back style, made me think you were not sincere about things, but amazingly, you just never sweated the small stuff. As much as I wanted you to be like me, I truly wish I could be more like you. You are an amazing woman, daughter and sister, and my live is not the same. As much as you didn’t need me in your life, I desperately needed you.
The day you were born was one of the happiest days of my life. I remember your beautiful blue eyes blinking at me as they laid you next to me. From that moment on I always loved your eyes and your infectious smile. Seeing your face always brought me joy. I was proud of your accomplishments and I wanted so much more for you. I didn’t tell you how much I was looking forward to being a grandmother to EJ and what a wonderful Mother you would make. I know he is in your arms and you both are in paradise with God and that brings some relief to know that you have no more pain and that your souls are in an everlasting love and relationship with Him.
Some of the things that make me happy as I remember your life were that you would enjoy the holidays so much. Pumpkin carving, opening Christmas presents and our trips to the lake of course were always precious to me. I was always so happy to see you, and when your car was in the drive, I would be so excited that you decided to grace us with your presence. Kit would say, Sissy is here! So many funny things you did as a child and as a young lady made me laugh. I will never forget when you drew eyebrows on Snapper. We laughed so hard. I always thought it was funny when you slept, however, scared I was that you wouldn’t be breathing when you so sweetly slept with your head tucked under the covers. The cute way you cuddled the Buddle. I miss the work lunches we shared. You had a gift for making people smile with your sweet little ways, like the tilt of your head when you smiled and were truly happy. I admired the way you were with your sister. You were never jealous of her, only deep profound love for her and her needs always came before your own. You helped me raise her and for that she is the young lady she is today. Your impact on our lives is never forgotten, my love.
As I remember your life today, I will grieve, with a heavy heart. I will think of you as I always did, as my daughter, precious and strong willed. Your intense love for animals and those who were young or old handicapped or weak. You had a gift for those people less fortunate than yourself, and wanted to make an impact on their lives and you did. I am grateful for the twenty five years God had given me to be with you and I will always think of you every day with a smile on my face knowing you were a blessing to me and those around you.
I love you my darling and I miss you every day. May you rest in peace and while you bask in the Glory of God and His almighty Kingdom. He prepared a place for you as He promised. We will be together again someday and when we do, it will be again, the happiest day of my life. Knowing where you and EJ are brings me comfort. I love you Lizabeth.
I was there the moment she was born and also the moment she passed away (something I am not able to share). I remember this beautiful baby that I carried around & sang to which continued until she could stand on my feet and dance with me. I remember the cute little doll running through my parking lot in her diaper & red tennis shoes wearing only those two items. We went to the zoo on the first date I had with my husband. She loved "our first date" as she called it. She proudly rode on his shoulders wearing his big felt Stetson hat. She called him "that man" and continued to until the day we married. She ran up to the altar,jumped in his arms and loudly said "Hooray, Now I can call you Grandpa". When I bought my dog Barney she asked if I had bought her a puppy. I had to tell her we could share him. When naming him took all night, we gave up. The very next day she put her little 3yr.old hands on her hips & said "His name's Barney, that's it , no more names". It stuck. That was before Dave & I married. Later while visiting, she yelled at Grandpa not to come by the window to see the naked hookers across the street. Then proceeded to inform us what a hooker was. She was seven ! My husband was as stunned as I was ! We had a great time one Christmas vacation when she had all her friends from our church call their parents to say that they could stay a couple more days--then she told us. I remember all the hours /days we spent making Christmas cookies. Later during a sad time in her life she wrote me a story about it probably thinking about happier times as I now must do. She was looking at my doll collection and telling me "Soon you will have a real baby to hold". That never happened. I wear a rose inside a teardrop necklace as a memorial which will go to my daughter when I'm gone. It says it all about my feelings on her passing. The rose is the symbol of undying love. When I get to heaven I want to see her at the gate to greet me then & only then will I have peace at her passing.
I remember Liz's laugh. I remember her smile. I do miss her. Even though she was not around me anymore, I always wished her well. Its does not seem fair or right. The only thing I can think to cling to is what my Mom told me whrn my dad passed away. God must have needed her. For what we will not know until he calls for us. But he needed her for something very important or he would not have taken her from everyone here who loved and cared for her. Peace be with you Lizzy. Peace be with you Kim and your family. I send my love and thoughts and prayers all to you.
Daughter,why would you go through so much trouble for My birthday,she decorated my whole house,with her brother kevin and grandma mary,made me a cake and bought me a new hardhat,and digital camara,made me my favorite dinner,and then she looked me in the eyes and said,I love you,and i want this year to be the best bday you ever had.it was...the best...and last...Liz knew something was going to change. in the hospital liz said to me with no fear,dad im gonna die,and my only fear is i wont get into heaven,liz and grandma mary prayed and liz accepted jesus,two days after liz passed she came to me in a dream,knocking at my door,and when i answered it ,she was standing at my door with palm leaves in her mouth as i held out my arms she dissappeared backwards...months later while talking to an insurance agent i told her lizs dream and she called me back afew days later telling me palm leaves mean passage...i Miss her and look foward to the day i will see her again...............and from my side of liz family,i want to tell grandma and grandpa marshall how much liz loved them,she always spoke of them with love and tenderness,Liz loved you,DEARLY,and Tom,i have always asked liz about you,her reply was always the same GOODMAN,and heart,stearn,but with love manners,I can speak for LiZ,thank you TOM and LiZ loved you.Kim you already know LIZ loved ya,and kelsey...i LOVE and MISS LIZ
To everyone out there with a Buick with a baby seat in the back seat, I envy you. Remember to praise God for every breath and every moment of every day,and for every gallon of gas you have the privelidge to burn as you travel every mile that the road will take you with the one you love. I could never forget when we reach the lake, never mind the poles, watch instead her blue eyes as she dictates our favorite book, until the words become too hard to see in the setting sun.
I'm sorry to say I didn't know Elizabeth. I may have only met her on one or two occassions. I do know that a daughter is a beautiful thing and to loose her would be unbearable. As a mother, my thoughts are with you Kim, Tom and Kelsey.
Watching Liz grow from an infant to adulthood was an amazing experience, so many fond memories how can one pick? A truly beautiful child my niece was!
Such a tragic loss for this entire family. She will be greatly missed by us.
Being her uncle and having the privilege to baby-sit and play with her will be in my heart forever.
If I had to pick my favorite memory, it would have to be at a wedding when she asked me to please dance with her. She was so small and she stood on my shoes as we danced and then she asked to be held in my arms as we danced more.
Thank you GOD for letting me know such a sweet child as Liz.
Love,
Uncle Jeff
My memories of Liz are of a warm and friendly smile. I didn't get to know her all that well through the years. I await the day that we meet up again in heaven and I can learn more about you and meet your sweet precious baby.
Love,
Aunt Michelle
I want my sissy back home. I miss you. You are my best friend in the entire world and I want you to swim with me at the lake again. My life is not the same without you in it. Mom tells me you are in heaven with Jesus. I look at your pictures and vidoes all the time. I write about you at church. Mom says we will be together again someday. I love you sissy!
I don't think I will ever forget the fun times I had with Liz. I still choke up everytime I think about her leaving us. I feel that my daughter is my way of still having a part of Liz with me at all times. Lizabeth is, afterall, her middle name and I did it for a reason. I love my cousin who was always the one I told secrets too, exchanged numbers, and even got old outfits from. I love the memories and I cannot stand not seeing her at Christmas or family gatherings. I need my cousin and I guess I will have to wait until we see eachother another day. I love you. I miss you.
We mark one year as a period of time, a landmark or a milestone. When you lose a child, you count the missed opportunities. How many times did I miss that smile on my daughters face in one year? How many shopping trips, lunches, swimming off the boat, trips to the lake, the walks with the dog, giggles and belly laughs have we missed out on in the past year since you have been gone? I still long to see your car parked in front of the house hoping that you are here to see your dad, your sister or me. The never-ending joy you brought into our lives is profoundly missed. I have never missed anyone so deeply for so long. I don’t know what keeps me going every day without you. People ask me how I do it. I have no answer. All I know is faith in the Lord Almighty as promised, has prepared a place for you and I look forward to the day I see your beautiful sun shining face again. Until then I will never stop thinking of you every day and wish you were here to grace my life as you always did. I love you Lizabeth. May God rest your soul and grant you eternal peace.
