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, words cannot express the shock and sadness I feel for you and your family. I am so sorry. I love you and will keep you in my prayers. Find comfort in the Lord's arms, and here's a hug from me.
Liz-
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. You and your whole family are in our prayers...
Love to you,
Anna and Hal
Liz - Know that Jeff and I are thinking about you! Call me if you need a ride back to campus or if you need anything at all! Love you and lots of hugs to you and your family!!!
Mom- Well it has now been 5 years that have passed since the Lord called you home..... There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. The thought of never being able to see your smiling face or to feel the embrace of your loving hugs sends pain into my heart. I know you would have been an excellent grandma and it saddens me that Tyler, Ashley, Andy, Kellen, and Brock will never get to meet you. But your spirit, compasion and love lives on in your children. I know that you would be proud of me Michael and Liz. I still feel anger at times when I think that our time was cut short and that I lost my mom so young. Life isn't fair at times. When given lemonds make lemonade. Love you mom! Untill we see eachother again.
Oh, how I miss her. Still surreal. Gotta keep moving and laughing and living the life she would have wanted us to live. Xo xo pain, anger, forgiveness and embracing the difference. I hope she is proud of how far we all have come and the Grand babies that you and Michael have blessed her with. So much love. Xo xo xo
