Liz,
It gives me piece of mind to know that my mom is there with you. You two were always close and I know that you will take care of my mom. I can't help but ask why the powers that be would call up two wonderful loving people, but that in itself answers the question. A day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and wish we had more time together, I still have so much I want to tell you! You would be SO proud of the man Matthew has become. I know we all are. You will always remain in my thoughts and prayers. I always smile when I look at the pictures of all our "get togethers" with our group and the kids. I know you are there in spirit. Take good care of my mom and show her the ropes!

To Liz's Family-
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working side by side with Liz for many years at CHOP-her dedication was untiring for all the families and infants she touched over her years at CHOP- I last saw her this summer in Ocean City with her two beautiful children in the candy store - She had a beautiful smile enjoying her children that evening- what a lasting memory of her for me.

Dear Matt and Lauren,
I never got the chance to know your mom but I know that if I did, I would be proud to be her friend. Whenever your mom and I would cross paths at Bunker Hill, she'd flash an electric smile and say hello to me. Even with that one word, I knew she was someone very special and sincere. You can't usually tell by "hello" that someone is special. But your mom was different.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your Dad at this painful time. Please know that your mom was loved and admired -- even by those who just knew her from afar. To you and your Dad, I wish the same abundance of peace and love that your mom brought so effortlessly to others. May you find comfort in knowing that so many people truly, truly care.

There are no words that seem sufficient to express to you my heartfelt sadness at the loss of Liz. Although I wasn't fortunate enough to have known Liz, I found the following quote that seems to express what her life meant to those who were lucky enough to have been a part of her life:
"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."
May you, Lauren and Matt find comfort and solace in the friends and family who surround you at this difficult time.

As a friend of Liz' in high school, then again when our children went to the same school, it was no surprise to see what a successful, caring woman she had become. No one is more devoted to her family and a better friend to others. The turnout and tributes to remember her show how strongly she touched so many lives. Most people who live a life twice as long don't live a life half as full as Liz. We will all miss our friend.

Steve,
I have just returned from the services for Liz. It was a beautiful tribute to her. You were so strong, when speaking of your relationship. I enjoyed your stories. My favorite memories of Liz will always be her smile. It is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her.
She will be missed at the pool deck, timing those frogs of ours. I hope you can get back to the football field soon. Those little guys need you on the sidelines. Joey especially likes being coached by you.
I lost my dad when I was in 10th grade, so I remember how Lauren feels now. She is a beautiful girl, and showed such maturity. Her mom will always be with her. Matt has a great dad, and he is a great kid, Liz and you raised beautiful , children. I know that you will continue. I will pray for your strength and hope your pain turns to happy memories soon.
I will keep all of you in my thoughts.
Hope to see you soon.

Steve,
There are no words we could say to ease your pain at this time. We are here for you, anytime. We miss Liz. She was always smiling. We'll miss seeing her day to day roaming around the neighborhood with you, sometimes, and Buster. We'll miss waving to her as she drives on by our house trying to make that appoinment she has, or on her way to pick up one of the kids. Michael is beside himself. She invited him into your home for CCD classes. He loved coming. She made them feel special. They had fun there. Brianna still remembers the good times with Liz at football. She always took the time to talk with her and fix her hair. She tells us every day since that she misses Liz. We shared blankets and sweatshirts and huddled close to keep warm while watching our sons play the game. Frank loved to tease her. She was such a good sport about it. She touched so many people's hearts, too big a number to count. Anytime you need us, for you or the kids, we are here! Now, more than ever, you'll need to rely on family, friends, and neighbors.
Matt & Lauren,
You've heard so many people tell you what a great mom she was. She loved you both so much. You both knew that. She was loved by so many people around her. She, along with her happy memories, will always be in our hearts. We are here for you if you need us. You're always welcome in our home.

She was always a friendly person with a radiant smile on her face that could affect anyone who came across it. There are no word to comfort Lauren, Matt, and Mr. Lopez at this time, but I think you know that myself, my family, and everyone else is here for you. Your mom\wife was a great person who was always willing to help a person whether they had asked for help or not.

You rarely let things get to you, and you were always able to see the positive aspects of a situation. I'm really going to have to work on my sarcastic nature, now that I don't have you to keep me in check. I'm going to miss our lunches together,sharing our dreams about our kids, vacation plans,husbands, homes.... I still can't believe I'm never going to see you buzz around the corner at work, or hear your voice saying "Lynn, it's Liz." Only my closest friends ever called me Lynn. 13 years of knowing you were not long enough, but it is a gift I will always keep close to my heart....Love, Linda B.

At this time its hard to accept that Liz;s life was cut so short, but we all realize how fortunate we were to have had such a good caring person as wife/mother/friend for the time that we did have with her. Her death is a loss to so many people's lives. In our family we called her our resident nurse. I especially remember when our grandson was born prematurely and Liz called & explained the condition. I can't express how much better she made us feel. Although her death is a loss to us on earth, it is definately a gain to those in heaven.

In the six years that we've been neighbors with the Lopez's, I have never seen Liz without a smile on her face. Whether it was 8:00am at the bus stop or 10:00pm coming home from picking up the kids, she was always in a good mood. Liz lived for her family. When I would tell people where we lived, they would say, "Oh, I know someone in that neighborhood!" I have lost count as to how many times it was Liz. They knew her from school, church, the swim club, as well as, the many sports activities in which Lauren and Matt were involved. God has taken a great person from us. She touched so many lives with her happiness and energy; and had such a positive impact on so many of our children. Liz will be greatly missed by everyone. Steve, Lauren and Matt, you are in our hearts and in our prayers.

When I heard the tragic news, my first reaction was disbelief; I knew someone had miscommunicated information. No, this could not be the Liz we all know and love. She is too good, too involved, appreciated, liked and respected by all. Bad things do not happen to people such as her. Death does not steal away people like her. She is doing too much good in the world for that.
When I picture Liz's face in my mind, she is always smiling. Her open heart welcomed everyone into her world. Matt and Lauren, the mother's love and pride she had for you was easy to read in her eyes, but she was never boastful about you. In fact, the love of family shared openly by all four of you is a lesson we could learn from.
You will think of her everyday for the rest of your lives. The pain will never disappear, but it will never be as strong as the realization that she gave to you the only true gift we have in this world, her love for always. One day, her love will allow you to smile again. Until then, I will smile for you every time I think of her.
With God's Blessings, Cindee Kollmeier

As I sit here trying to find a way to articulate the many fond memories we have of Liz, lovingly referred to as "bif", the latest one comes to mind. Not even a week ago, a mutual friend offered Liz tickets to the Shania Twain concert. Liz declined the offer but immediately thought of us and we ended up going. Thats just how she was. We didn't even get a chance to thank her. Thanks Liz.. For all the great times laughing with her about some of the things she would come up with and making us all feel better about ourselves, Thanks Liz..
For being a wonderful mother to 2 great children and a great wife to Steven, Thanks Liz..
For caring as much for her nieces and nephews as she did for her own children and always happy to have them around, Thanks Liz..
For being a devoted sister to Donna, a loving daughter to Bob and Jane, and a caring granddaughter, Thanks Liz..
There are so many things that Liz has given to all of us, it is hard to imagine a moment has gone by that she wasn't thinking of someone other than herself. There are so many things that we would love to say to her if we could have the chance, but I for one, would like to say "Thanks Liz" and we will miss you more than you could imagine

Words cannot begin to describe the sadness we feel over the loss of a great friend! Liz was not only a beautiful, kind, warm and loving person, but she was a devoted Mom and wife to Steve, Lauren, and Matt. She made you want to be a better person in this world. We will dedicate a permanent beach chair on the deck at Greenwood Park Swim Club and it will be facing the sun, of course! Our Deepest Sympathy goes to Steve, Lauren ,Matt, and Buster. As well as Liz & Steve's Family!
Love Always,
Melissa, Cary, Emily & Elizabeth Brown

Ten years ago, my daughter Taylor was taken to CHOP after being diagnosed with a congenital heart defect. Liz who I knew through Donna called me and explained everything to me. She also gave us literature to read. She gave us her phone number and said to call anytime to ask questions. She didn't have to do any of this. I will never forget the kindness, caring and honesty with which she presented everything to us. The world has lost a true angel! God be with you and your family.

I guess I knew Liz for over 18 years now. I remember how proud I was that she and Steve asked me to be a junior groomsman in their wedding. I was only 13 then. I?m sure she knew I had a crush on her back then. I remember the many times at Aunt Janet?s pool where we?d be talking about stuff. She was always so interested in my life. In fact, she was the first one that pointed me toward Drexel and my career in engineering. If you needed something, Liz was always there, anytime. I remember we had a scare with Mia one night. Our doctor told us not to be concerned. Well, as new parents, we were concerned and called her. She immediately called some specialists she knew. It wouldn?t have mattered if it was 2:00 in the afternoon, or 2:00 in the morning, she would have done that for us. It is an absolute tragedy that Liz is not in our world anymore. I can?t begin to express the sadness I feel and the sympathy I feel for Steve, Lauren and Matthew. Liz, I miss you and I love you. Goodbye.
