Mom,I miss you so much every day. As life continues on earth without you I very much cherish all of the things you taught and shared with me. None of your kids would be the people we have become without your guidance and love. Kaley never had the chance to really get to know you but in many ways I am with her as you were with me. Thank you so much for having such a positive influence on me so that it could be shared with her. I love you forever.Alyssa

To Liz's family. I just heard of Liz's passing and just want to give you my sincere condolences. I knew Liz through the dentist office, and I just want to tell you that she was such a nice person. She always was so pleasant and just a lovely person to talk to. I knew her from the time she starting working for Dr. Wendorf, and she watched my kids grow up as I brought them to the office. So sorry for your loss. Laura De Bruin.

Besty and Family,I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your mother as a strong and happy individual. You remember her in that way too. Saturday was a celebration of her life. Remember the funny things. Your pain will ease over time. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.Phyllis

Alyssa, Michael and Betsy,This is one of the hardest things siblings will ever have to face! It is my wish that this will bring us closer as a family and not cause separation as Mom was the glue that held us all together. We all have separate lives now and it will make it tougher to bring us together with out Mom being the cause. We will have to try harder to stay connected, we will have to be willing to reach out to each other because that is what Mom would of wanted.I care very much about each of you! I know sometimes life can deal you a rough time and you feel like you just got sacked (4), but you got to get up and start playing again. Mom wants us all to do well in whatever we decide to do...she was a winner at everything she did!!!I am here for everybody!LoveLarry "little larry"

Jerry and Berg Children,I'm so sorry for your loss. Liz was a wonderful person and cared so deeply for her family. She and I had many long talks over the many years we knew each other. We wereinstant friends the first time I ever saw her at the office and that had to have been 25 yrs. ago. We talked about everything, she was so easy to talk to and we had so many things in common. I will miss her greatly. I won't be able to attend the services; but you will all be in our prayers.Dottie and Family
