Condolences

The family of Elizabeth C. Miller has received the following condolences.

I have been trying to write this forever and am finally able to. It is Amy Bagniewski. I have been best friends with Elizabeth since Freshman year. We did speech, drama, group, and just hanging out together. I am so sorry for your loss. Elizabeth was one of the Best Friends I have ever had. I still go back and look at pictures and videos of us. I remember us getting ready for Turnabout in her basement or filming the Speech for class in front of the fish wall and her playing the drums with the babies. I am once again so sorry for what happened to your daughter. We all feel the pain. We all feel the loss. Every day I find something I just want to tell her or text her and I have a couple times. I think we all just need to look up and see her light beams radiating down on us during the days or see all of her beautiful stars shining brightly above us to know that she will always be here. I cant wait until I can visit her grave and give her a proper goodbye, but until then I just look up and smile knowing that she is doing just that. Sorry again. 

I was so sorry to hear about Elizabeth's death. You are in my prayers. May you find comfort during this very difficult time.

My sincere regrets.  I was a classmate of Bob and Joy Miller at Berea College. 

Our thoughts and prayers have been with you since we heard of the news of Elizabeth's passing from our daughter, Shayla.  Shayla was one of Elizabeth's roommates at Bethel University.  Shayla said Elizabeth was always making her laugh and she loved her so dearly.  We will continue to lift you up in our prayers that the peace and understanding of the Lord will wash over you daily.  In Him ~

Dearest Robert and Family,

Although I did not know Elizabeth personally, I loved hearing you talk about her Robert, during our modules in Oxford.  What a beautiful girl.  I want to express my deepest sympathy to you all at this terrible time and to know that you have been, and will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

With much love,

Lucy Mullins

Dear Bert and family,

We cannot imagine the magnitude of the loss the Miller family has experienced. Elizabeth must have been a very special person. Our thoughts and our prayers are with the entire family. May the passage of time help to mend your broken hearts.   

The Elizabeth Miller family:  Please accept our sincerest condolenses and sympathies at the loss of your precious daughter, sister and granddaughter.  There are no words to express our feelings but you are continually in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Elizabeths accident and death.  She was so young.  I am rejoicing to know of her christian walk. Joan Hurt, Happy Hands Quilt Club

I am so so sorry for your loss.

We were with Bob and Joy in St. Louis the weekend that their granddaughter, Elizabeth was born.  We have heard of her wonderful trips and how special she was.  But until just now after reading the  condolences listed online did we realize how  much she had influenced so many.  What an impact she had on people in all walks of life and in such diverse circumstances.   Also it was quite impressive to learn what joy she possessed and how she always stood for the right and was readily willing to express her stand.  She truly must have been an outstanding young woman.

We pray that the memories of all these magnificient qualities and all her accomplishments will eventually serve to comfort you.  Just lean on the Lord to see you through.  He cares and He will bring you comfort.

Dear Robert. My thoughts are with you and the family. This is a truly a tragedy, a young lfe so dramatically cut short. Words can offer little comfort, but we must remember and rejoice in those good times that were shared. So, so sad.

Ken

From a very, very good old Berea College friend of grandfather and grandmother, Bob and Joy.....my deepest and sincerest condolences.

Dear Bert and family, Bob and Joy,

My sincerest condolences.  I am a friend of Bob  and Joy'is's in Bartlesville and I remember Bob speaking of his grandchildren with the love only a grandparent can relate.  May God give all of youstrenght duriing your grieving process. I know you have many wonderful memories and nothing can take those away.

Love and prayers,

Rosie Swindell

Dear Elizabeth,

Heaven is one lucky place to have you and my heartaches for you and your family.  God must have special mission for you to have taken you from your family and friends.  You were  Hyemin's (our International Student)  first friend when she arrived at school.  You had such a curiosity/passion of others cultures.  I always enjoyed hearing about your trips to Japan with your father.  I have many fond memories of you staying at our home  for sleepovers, getting ready for school dances, cooking Korean food  and just hanging out doing what teenage girls do. 
Please give Nate our Kitty, a hug for us in heaven, I know animals were another passion of yours.

You will be missed dearly by all.  Love, Jan

PS.. Leesa, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. 

Mr. and Mrs. Miller,

I have a daughter at Bethel, and she told me of the tragedy involving your daughter.  I am so sad to hear about Elizabeth,  I didn't know her but I feel your sadness because my daughter is the same age and a freshman at Bethel.  My daughter Emma and my husband and I will keep Elizabeth in our prayers.  Our condolences to your entire family.

Mark, Erika and Emma Eberlein

Dear Robert and family,

Cynthia and I want to extend to you our deepest condolences on the tragic loss of your daughter, Elizabeth.  

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.

 

Matthew and Cynthia Goetz

To the family and friends of Liz Miller:  We've only met her a few times with Latisha, our grandaughter.  She was a sweet and beautiful girl.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to you.  Although we don't know you, we pray God will give peace and comfort to help you through this terrible tragedy.  They were all great kids.

Although I did not know Elizabeth, I have experienced loss of a family member in a similar way.  Also, being a parent myself I shed tears in communion with the pain you must be experiencing.  Our children are so precious and I only hope she knows what an amazing joy she always will be as her spirit lives on.....forever!!!

In Christ's Love,

Kathleen White, Stephen and Krysta

Dear Miller Family,

I just wanted to express to you my condolences for your loss. Elizabeth came to the library at Century on a very regular basis and was one of my favorite students to help. She always had that beautiful smile on her face, was so happy, and such a joy to work with. Her loss to the world is almost unthinkable. She was a remarkable individual.

I am thinking of you, your extended family and friends in this sad time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Leslie McGillivray-Rivas

Century High School Paraprofessional

My husband was a first responder at the accident. He was deeply saddened to hear of Elizabeth's passing. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with your family. God bless.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  I only knew Elizabeth from the few Venturing Crew 498 meetings she attended.

Take Care and God Bless.

Geri

Dearest Robert,

I am not sure what to say, I feel that nothing is enough to express how sorry I am for what you and your family are going through. 

I just hope you find a little consolation in the words that have been written about her.  She touched many lives and I truly believe she will continue to do so from where she is now.

You are all in my thoughts.

Lots of love,

Maria

Angels hover close to those whose hearts are breaking.

 Please know that your family will be in my prayers.

Miller Family,

I knew Elizabeth from Bethel University. She was a great influence to all of us students here to evaluate our lives and decide if we are living it right and to the fullest. Eliabeth did that. Since her passing, there isn't an instance where I don't wonder if I'm living my life to the fullest potential. Elizabeth made a huge impact on many lives including my own. She will be terribly missed, she was such a blessing.

Emily Rolf, friend of Elizabeth

Dear Miller Family,

I was heartbroken to hear of Elizabeths passing. I felt like I watched her grow up and she turned into a beautiful person inside and out.  My sincerest condolences.

Dear Robert,

We are all utterly shocked and the dreadful news of Elizabeth's untimely death. This is tragedy beyond tragedy and our hearts go out to you, your wife and family.

You and your family are deeply in our thoughts and in our prayers.

Yours, in deepest sympathy,

Dear Miller family,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I was in marching band with Elizabeth for 2 years, and she is one of the most joyful people I have met.  Please know that you are all in my prayers.

 

Marie Noga

I knew Elizabeth briefly several years ago when I was a counselor at Lourdes High School.  I got to know all of the students who were on my caseload and Elizabeth was one of my students when she was in 9th grade.  I remember Elizabeth's beautiful smile and her positive attitude.  I also remember that she was always thinking of other people.  Elizabeth was a special person- kind, compassionate, intelligent- a shining star.

Elizabeth's death is a tragedy beyond words.  Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Finch-Mitchell, School Counselor

I remember meeting Elizabeth first when she was thinking about trying out for guard and later when she joined fall guard. I always enjoyed working with Elizabeth and thought that as a teenager she had such zest and passion for life.  She was a true friend to all she met.  I especially remember the time I got to spend with her during the hours of practice for winter guard, the competitions, and the guard bonding they did.  I saw the impact that Elizabeth had on the other guard members. She always had such great manners and was appreciative of anything others did for her.

I loved hearing stories about her travels and love for animals.  We talked often about both having family from the Berea, KY area.  

She will be missed greatly and will always be a part of our guard family at LHS.  

I am keeping your family in my prayers and thoughts. I pray that God can ease the pain you feel.  I know that Elizabeth will continue to change the world as she often dreamed of doing.

Dear Robert, Lesa, Henry and Robert,

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this deep time of grief.  We were SO SADDENED and SORRY to read in the paper about the accident in which you lost Elizabeth.  Although we did not know her, we know what a rich life of love and adventure your family gave her on this earth.  What a blessing it is that you were able to travel with her, Robert, and have special time with her exploring the world!  I know how proud you were of her!  Having lost an infant child, sometimes life throws us things that seem unbearable!  But God is with you and HE PROMISES to provide the comfort you need, HE will be what sustains you through your grief.  We learned that to ask God "why" is unreasonable to question His authority, and that we simply have to trust HIM, for HE knows the plans HE has for you and the plans HE had for Elizabeth!  From reading the condolences, we can see that she touched many lives and God blessed her with love and talents, and an early faith which promised her Heaven.  Our hearts are saddened for all of you and we pray that in the coming days and years, that you are comforted by your faith and that family and friends help to carry you through this tragic time. 

Sending our deepest sympathy to the entire family.  Praying generously for you.

Dianne and Allen Rench

Lesa and family,

As you know Lesa,I didnt know your daughter,but reading all the things I have,and talking with you about her,I know the world has lost an angel in disguise.

She looked so much like you I thought Lesa,she was beautiful,and I know as bad as you and your family are hurting right now that you that you will see her again one day in the glories  of heaven. May God watch over and touch each of you with his hand of comfort at this time.I am here if there is anything that you need.

Love and friendship always,

To the Miller family, my deepest condolences and love in this hard time. God is taking good care of Elizabeth right now; trust him to do the same for you until you see Elizabeth again. :)

I'm so so so so sad to hear about Elizabeth. I miss her so much already. She was the nicest person I've ever met. When is the funeral?

I am so sorry for your loss.  I have been and will continue to pray for you and your family. I love you.  Elisa

With love,

Dear family of Elizabeth, 

I never got the chance to meet Elizabeth but reading her story and seeing her beautiful picture, broke my heart. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember to cherish the memories and remember that Elizabeth will be watching over you all each and every day! One thing I suggest is to get the book, The Next Place, it was a great help when I lost my best friend just 2 years ago. May God bless you and know you are all loved! 

Dear Bert and Family, 

 

We are deeply saddened upon hearing of the tragic loss of your precious daughter Elizabeth.  Our prayers  with thoughts  are with your family during this difficult time of sorrow and pain. The Lord be with you through the journey of tears and broken hearts along the path of healing.

 

Our sincere sympathy.

 

Larry and Diane Klemenhagen

Dear Bert and Miller Family,

Ben sent me an e-mail Thursday morning about Elizabeth, and I was stunned, and so very saddened to hear of this tragedy.  Words are not adequate at times like this to convey my deepest sympathies to all of you.  I am so very sorry.  May God's peace be with each of you.

Susan

Miller Family,

We are very sorry to hear of your loss.  We are praying for God's loving arms be wrapped around you and give you comfort.  The comfort only He can bring. 

Lesa, Bert, Robert, and Henry,

 

I couldn't believe what I was reading when I saw that Elizabeth had been in an accident. I had remembered seeing on the news that there was an accident on hwy 58, but I didn't think it could possibly anyone I knew. 

I am so sorry that Elizabeth was involved and that she is no longer here with us. I know this has been said many times, but it's only because of how true it is: Elizabeth was so full of love and life...she had the most beautiful smile. She stuck up for me and classmates as well when people were treating them unfairly. She had such a clear sense of what was the right thing to do. 

Elizabeth and I hadn't talked much towards the end of senior year, after she switched to Century. But I do know that, seeing her come to visit Lourdes all the time, she was still as sweet as she was before. 

 

Again I am so sorry for your loss. Know that my family and I are here for you all, whatever you need. In the meantime, know that she's up in Heaven, probably still pretty stoked about her new set of wings, watching over everyone. I'm sure she was showered in cherry blossoms upon her arrival there! 

 

With love,

Katie 

Dear Dr. Mrs. Miller and family

Dear Miller Family,

As a teacher, I get to know my students quite well. Some of them stay in my heart after they have gone their way.  Elizabeth is one of those.  She was a precious young woman, so full of compassion. I dont know that I have ever seen another teenager as caring and passionate as your Elizabeth.

Her death is a tragedy beyond words.  I will continue to pray for you at this very difficult time.

Mark Zaleski and family 

Miller Family,

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that Elizabeth had been in a car accident and then later on passed away. You never realize how precious life is until you are reminded of it. Elizabeth brought so much joy to everyone's day, including mine. She was always such a wonderful friend and my memories of her are fond. She will never be forgotten.

With love and my sincerest condolences,

Anne Doyle

Dear Miller Family, 

Like Elizabeth, I attended Lourdes and was involved in the color guard. I graduated two years ahead of her and sadly hadn't seen or spoken to her since my graduation however I hadn't forgotten about her. I remember she was a very sweet girl who had a quirky sense of humor that I recall being rather fond of.  I think my favorite memory of her was when we had a guard lock in at the Calvary Episcopal Church downtown.  We all had a blast dancing and singing along to the musical Mamma Mia! At one point she tried dressing up like The Virgin Mary and she went running outside in the snow with some of the other girls to go take pictures with the Mayo brothers statue in her outfit. She seemed to always be doing something goofy whether it was at school or practice :) Elizabeth was kind, genuine and beautiful. She will be missed by us color guard girls and countless others. 

I hope that your family can come to find peace after this tragic loss. You are in my thoughts. 

Lesa, Bert, Robert, & Henry,

We are all terribly sorry about the loss of Elizabeth.  She was such a special girl.  Elizabeth would always come up and say hi, no matter where we were, how many people were between us, or whether or not I saw here.  Her smile and joy would brighten my day.  We are praying for your family.

Love & Condolences,

Karen, Jeff, Joe, Josh, Jim, & John Fritzjunker

To the Miller family,

Miller Family,

Though I did not know Elizabeth personally, I did have a few friends that were friends with her, so I did encounter her a few times. And, although she was two years younger than me, she is still a classmate. Lourdes Eagles fly together, and I was very sorry to hear about your family's loss. Elizabeth and your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. God Bless.

Dear Miller family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time, and I am truly sorry for this loss. Elizabeth was an amazing friend to me since 3rd grade when we first met, and without her I would not be where I am today. Every memory I have with Elizabeth means so much because she was able to touch my life in many different ways. She has helped a countless number of people with her buoyant personality, kindness, and warmth toward everyone. She was always looked up to by those around her because of her honesty and strong belief in doing what is right and following Christ. She is dearly loved and missed by all.

 

With love,

Amy Bier

Dear Miller Family,

Elizabeth was such a beautiful human being. She was so much fun to be around at marching band, and she had such passion for the things she loved. She was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. My heart and prayers go out to you.

With love,

Victoria Smith

Miller family,

I can't begin to describe how truly sorry I am for your loss. Though I didn't know her as well as I would have liked, I considered Elizabeth to be a friend. I met Elizabeth because of our common friendship with Katie Olsen. Even though our meetings were few and often brief, I can tell that she was a bright, kind person. 

Elizabeth touched many lives, and I can only wish you all strength for the future.

I knew Elizabeth from when she went to Holy Spirit then again when we actually met in color guard my freshman year (when she was a junior) I have so many good memories with her. She made color guard so much fun.  Everyone would be having a bad day and only wanted to go home and she'd crack a joke or 2 and we'd all laugh just cause of how she said it. The past 2 years of color guard weren't the same without her. Also, my freshman year she had Mrs. Scott for homeroom and i had Mr. E and her locker was right outside the rooms so before we went to homeroom  i always stopped by her locker and we would talk She also had my back if someone said something mean about me.    She could make almost any person smile. Even if it didn't make any sense just the way she said it made it funny.  She will truly be missed.

Love you Elizabeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We'll miss you deeply!!!!!!!!!!

prayers to you family

Our prayers are with you now and in the days ahead.  We are truly sorry for your loss.  Elizabeth was a beautiful girl, inside and out, and her smile was contagious.

With love and deepest sympathy,  Mo, John, Megan and Johnny Lawson

 

I was so saddened to hear of Elizabeth’s death.  It was about a year ago when I saw her last when I was out shopping…her cheerful smile was so contagious.  I had just had a baby and she was so kind hearted as she offered to babysit…what a kind act on her part.  I did not have Elizabeth as a student while teaching at Holy Spirit but whenever I would see her at school she was always so polite and energetic.   Having had both Robert and Henry in first grade, they always spoke so highly of their big sister and looked up to her with great respect.  May God grant you strength in the days ahead!  God Bless you all!

 

Miller Family

We are sorry beyond words.  May the love of God help you through this time of grief and know that you are in our prayers.

John Black, Kathy Logan, Rebecca And Logan Black

 

Elizabeth was one of the most spirited and genuine people I had the opportunity to get to know. She was always so upbeat and positive, lifting the mood of anyone she came into contact with. I'm sad I couldn't spend more time with her. However, I am very grateful for what time I did have to get to know her and be friends with her.

She was loved by many and will be missed terribly. 

Elizabeth and her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Miller family,

I can not imagine the pain you must be going through right now.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and Prayers. 
May God give you peace and hold you all close during this time.

Love to all of you,

Sammye

I had the honor of meeting Elizabeth and seeing the compassionate and kind heart that she had.  She was beloved by so many.  We send our thoughts and prayers.

   Although I didn't talk to Elizabeth as much as I would have liked to, I do have one profound memory of her that displays her character. When I was a sophomore, I was at the mall with a few friends when I ran into a girl who had a few (not so nice) things to say about me, and because I don't do well with confrontation, this situation really freaked me out. Just when I thought I was going to cry or get punched,  Elizabeth saw I was scared and her and her friend stuck up for me and helped me out. I was so thankful for her that day, and I am still incredibly thankful today. I hope she knows that. She was my angel that day, going out of her way to help someone she barely knew. When I saw the beautiful pink sunrise this morning, it served as a littler reminder that she is still watching over me, her family, and everyone else that loved and cared about her. The little bit of her that I saw in action that day touched my life forever, and from what I hear from my classmates, she was an angel always. 

Prayers and thoughts go out to your family. God bless. 

I'm very sorry for you loss Miller Family, 

Elizabeth was a good person, and a very sweet girl, i will miss her with all my heart, and she truly had an impact on me and many other people, she always managed to brighten my day, and i will miss talking to her, seeing her, laughing with her, and much more.  

I send my condolences to you. 

Dear Bert,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.  I cannot imagine the grief your family is feeling.  My prayers and thoughts are with you.

You are my inspiration for kindness and love, and your existence is always in my heart. R.I.P Elizabeth Miller.

Dear Elizabeth, because of having the honor of meeting, i am the person that i am today. You were always accepting of those around you, and for that, you are one of the best friends that I ever had. I remember when you got me to go to Prom my freshman year and helped me out with everything i needed to know. I wore the pink tie you picked out for me today and it will always symbolize the good times we had. Thanks for all that you did, i will never forget you.  Heaven has a new angel up there and she will surely bring the fun atmosphere up with her.

P.s. i will always be your Colombian homie :)  

I'm so so sorry for you all.  I had Elizabeth in my Reading for College class at Century High School last year. She brightened my day. It was first hour, and she would come in with that gorgeous smile, ready to learn. She would often read excerpts of her favorite texts to the class. She not only read, but she shared why she loved what she was reading. She had such a passion for helping others. Her spirit and energy were contagious, and it was especially helpful for all of her tired classmates. I believe the student who sat beside her class would not have had success without Elizabeth's encouragement. She supported, encouraged and guided so many students. I know the pain of losing a child and I wish more than anything that it not be so painful. My prayers are with you. Please know that I and so many at Century were positively impacted by knowing Elizabeth. She is missed greatly. 

To the Miller Family,

 

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm not acquainted with any of you, however I drive this stretch of highway nearly every day around that time. I was deeply saddened & shocked to hear of this accident, and especially of Elizabeth's passing. My sincere condolences to all of you during this difficult time -- God Bless

I am very saddened to hear of the passing of Elizabeth.  Upon her arrival at LHS, she contacted me about volunteering at a fundraiser held at Wendy's.  She always gave her best to help others.  I will always remember her beautiful smile and bubbly personality.  My heart goes out to all of you.

Dear Lesa, Bert, Robert and Henry,

Words cannot express the deep sorrow we feel for your loss of Elizabeth.  She brought so much laughter and joy into our home, in the seven years she was Jacqui's close friend.  We will always remember her sweet smile, her gentle way with children, her love of animals and the tremendous gift she had for sharing a good story.  Elizabeth is a star who will shine brightly, in our memories, forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Miller family,

I wish I could share with you all of the wonderful times that I was able to enjoy while Elizabeth was in my class.  She was such a caring, vibrant, extraordinary young woman.  She made me feel welcome during my first year teaching here, and I will be forever grateful for the lessons that I learned from her during that time.  To this day, I still have some Japanese sugar candy remaining in my desk that she brought for me!  Please know that everyone at Lourdes has been praying for your family, and we fondly honor the memory of a truly wonderful spirit in Elizabeth. 

Dave Jenson

Dear Miller Family,

We are saddened by the news of Elizabeth's death.  I recall her spending time with our entire family when she and Ryan would come over to visit Jacob. She'd entertain us at dinner with stories of school and family.  It was obvious how much she adored her brothers and respected and loved her parents.  We will keep you all in our prayers.

Dear Robert

I was so sorry to hear the dreadful news.  My thoughts and deepest, deepest sympathies are with you and your family at this terrible time.

Grant

I am so saddened to hear of Elizabeth's death. She was a student in my US Government class last year and was a vital member of the Century community. While she was only with us for a year, her impact was felt deeply. Elizabeth was so willing to reach out to classmates and so willing to take a stand for what she believed in. She was wise and caring and yet always had a sparkle in her smile and a great sense of humor. The world would be a better place if more teenagers had the level of humanity that shone in Elizabeth.

Dear Robert and family,

I am disconsolate to hear of the tragic loss of Elizabeth from your family. From all that Robert shared of your lives together in Rochester with those of us in Oxford, I can barely start to imagine the anguish you are suffering.

May Elizabeth rest in peace with her Lord. I pray that the many cherished experiences you shared with your wonderful daughter and sister will bring some solace in the midst of your pain.

Craig Carr.

Dear Robert and your family.  We are so sorry to hear of your terrible loss.  You will all be in our prayers.

Miller family,

I am truly sorry for your loss... OUR loss.   I had the great fortune of having your daughter in class when she transferred to Century.   She was such an injection of energy to our room.  From her stories of southern life and her "Cherokee blood", she made class discussions so enjoyable.  She was truly a person who cared so much for others.   We had many discussions where she "hurt" for her friends maybe more then the friends hurt for  themselves.     My family will keep her and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

We are very sorry for the lost of Elizabeth. We never met her, but Robert told Theo so many things about her that we feel we caught a glimpse of her wonderful life. No words can express enough how we want to be with you and support you through this very sad tragedy. We love you very much and will always be there for you.

Elizabeth, may your soul rest in peace. We will learn from your candor and love of life. Please prepare a place for us, in that eternal life of yours. We shall meet then.

Robert and Lesa an family, we were so saddened to hear of Elizabeth's accident and death. I am so sorry that you have to suffer through this tradegy. I fondly remember Elizabeth in girl scouts, and Kristine has many great color guard memories as well. Kristine was especially crushed when she heard the news; the world has truly lost a spirited individual, and heaven has gained an angel. May you find peace and comfort in knowing others care.

Bert, Lesa, Robert and Henry-
We are so very sorry to hear about Elizabeth. She was such a wonderful girl and we always enjoyed her company when she was here at our house with Katie and at marching band.   She was a beautiful girl who always made us laugh and she was a delight to be around. She was a very good friend to Katie. We have been looking at photos of the two of them  and other friends and remembering all the fun they had during their high school years. Katie is so very sad and will miss Elizabeth so much. Your familiy will be in our thoughts and prayers.  We are so very sorry for your loss.

Lesa, Bert, Henry and Robert,

We are all truly saddened by what happened to Elizabeth. We heard late Thursday that she had been critically injured and Katie and I were planning to come to the hospital Friday and then heard the news that Elizabeth did not survive her injuries. We are stunned and truly sorry for your loss, Katie is especially saddened by this tragedy. Elizabeth was a beautiful person, inside and out. We will treasure the memories of all the times she spent doing things with Katie and our family, we always enjoyed having her here. We will keep all of you in our prayers, and pray that God will help heal your broken hearts. 

We have many pictures with Elizabeth in them, if you would like us to share those with you, we would be happy to do that.
