An Amazing Woman...

What does one write when you lose the light in your life, the love of your heart and the spirit in your soul...

Here are a few things I have put together...THANK YOU!

The Love of an Amazing and Caring Woman…

I just wanted to send out many thank you’s for the compassion and concern that I and my family have been shown over the last few days in the unexpected passing of my mother.

On Wednesday night, my mother was in a car accident and did not survive. Her spirit and her love of life will survive through all of those who she has met. I have been truly blessed with the greatest understanding of loving others before yourself because she showed that by making sure everyone else was taken care of first and through her selflessness so many great and wonderful things have happened in my life.

‘Her greatest passions in life were her children and her flowers. She was a friend to all and will always be remembered for her quick laugh and smile. She embraced life to the fullest and would go out of her way to see that others were taken care of. Her selflessness and compassion will be missed by all of those who had the luxury of meeting her.’

Thank you again for thinking about me and my family through this changing point in our life. Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for the things we have, accept the things we cannot change and to show compassion for those who need the extra support. The support of friends and family has been my thanksgiving this year and my family and I thank you so much for your compassion and are starting the steps of trying to accept the things we cannot change.


The wake is on Sunday 4-7 in Shell Lake, WI and the Funeral will be on Monday at 11am at Barronett Lutheran Church in Barronett, WI. She will then be buried in Sarona, WI. I am not sure when I will be back on campus or back to CA but know that I will be thinking of all of you. I will be in touch soon when I get back to CA.

Much Love and Respect,
Liz

This is my friend!!!

She is beautfiul and makes me happy and has been there for EVERYTHING!!! Just wanted to take this time and say THANK YOU and you rock my world and didn't we have fun that night!!! :)

Sorry it too me SOOOOOOOO LONG to write to all of you! Glad to hear things are going so well!!! Work has consumed me lately but I am going to try and make more time to post blogs and email everyone back!!!

Thinking of all of you!
Taking a page from my beautiful friend Parker,
I want to write about the things I am thankful for....
This could take awhile but I will write the basics for now...

My family, they are my rock and strength and
they make me SOOOOO Proud!!!

My sister! She is now an LPN and GETTING MARRIED
and I am just so excited and thankful that I am in her life so much!

My brother and his wife, they are my love and compassion
and give the meaning of friendship and caring a new level.

My little brother who makes me wish I was closer
home but makes me feel good to hear about how much
he is growing and changing and making the Mortensen name proud! :)

My Mom and Dad and Karla...They teach me new things
everyday and are always there when I call about questions
about my boys and what to do in the kitchen. They
have saved many meals for my boys.

My boys: they drive me to be better and make
me feel so full of life by all the energy they have and
the love they give to me through the little things they do.
THEY ROCK!!!

My best friend Missy: she knows how to make a
girl laugh herself silly when I think I AM having a bad day,
she always has something so dumb happen that
it makes me love her more because of it. HA!

My best friend Shannon, ugh! The stories lately
make me laugh and laugh and in a recent study they say
laughing is the best way to exercise so woowhoo to us!!!
An average kindergartner laughs 300 times a day, an
adult only 17. I am proud to say that Shannon
pushes us OVER AVERAGE!!!

The weather, I am so glad I live in a place where it
has seasons and the area is just beautiful!!! Fall
has come and the leaves are BEAUTIFUL!!

FOOTBALL: I like football. It makes me happy. :)

My partner in crime Godoy: What can I say? For
a boss he rocks and as a friend and partner he is the
best! He makes me want to be better at what I do.

Life

Miss you all and hope you can think of a few things you are thankful for! Happy Turkey month!
