Dear Uncle Don, I was so very sad to hear of Auntie Liz’s passing. She has always been such a kind and gentle soul. As a small girl she was my smiling aunt from Toronto who always sent us west coast girls the coolest gifts. ❤️ rip Auntie Liz

Dear Uncle Don,
Just heard about Aunty Liz and wanted to reach out and send you all of our love.
I will always remember when I visited in '68 and Aunty Liz made my day taking me shopping in down town Toronto, just her and I. A very special memory.

What a lovely celebration of Liz this afternoon--it was so evident through the stories people of her generosity and love of life that she touched so many people, created caring communities and left the world a better place. Dad was so fond of her--stories of times in Thessalon and of visits to Port Arthur are affectionately woven through his written stories. She was always so warm and welcoming to the cousins from out west....thank you for that Liz. Don, our hearts are with you. The stories people told of the two of you this afternoon are a testament to the two of you and the couple you were. It's good to know that you have such a strong community around you to support you moving forward. With love.

I am very sorry for your family's loss. My dad spoke very fondly of his cousin Liz and I remember nothing but kindness in which she radiated during conversations I had with her.

Liz: Prone to laughter. Interested in people. Lover of beauty. Always with the food so good you forgot it was healthy. Don, together you and Liz traveled far and wide, always welcoming more people into your lives. In later years, you have helped and guided Liz to a far different place, one where she can now rest and have peace. Bless you.

Don, what an absolute blessing it has been to meet you and Liz in our neighbourhood several years ago. Our morning 'coffee and bagels' together were something I treasured. Liz's innate loving and kind nature was so apparent, even as she faded ever more away from us. I will forever remember her beautiful smile, our conversations about her experiences as she was slowly leaving us, the times we 'swayed' together to the music (her from her chair), and her wonderful Mandala colourings. Dear Liz, you are free now to soar through the heavens, as you so liked to do. What a beautiful life you lived. And Don - looking forward to more coffee and bagels! Love, Rose

Liz has been a model of hospitality and caring to me ever since I met her 45 years ago. Her sense of humor, her generosity of giving, her open heart to all around her continues to sing in my soul even as she has departed. I know the angels surround her and sing her life song with joy, as that is how she lived. We will miss you Liz. Don, your joy in life continues, to the benefit of us all! We look forward to seeing you.

I am very blessed to have met both you and Liz 16 years ago. I consider you both amazing people and am glad that I had the opportunity of helping in the last little while.

May Liz' memory be for a blessing as she was a blessing to all who knew her! Love, Marilyn

Dear Don, I'm so happy that I had a chance to visit you and Liz in August. You and Liz are two of the most gracious persons I've ever met. We've known each other since 1966--Liz was only 29. The three of us have lived together and Liz and I have worked together. Knowing both of you has enriched my life enormously. I will look forward to meeting Liz again in heaven. Don, you must come visit with us whenever you can. Love and condolences to you.

Dear Don, We have just heard about Liz. My favourite memory of her is in the kitchen in a long cotton dress, cooking away, smiling, and chatting with everyone. I will always remember her as kindness and goodness personified. We will miss her. I am unable to make it to her service but I hope you will be able to visit us soon. I send you my condolences.
