  3. My beautiful Aunt Liz was a pillar of strength to me and to all who were lucky enough to know her. She was caring, endlessly positive, brilliantly intelligent and wonderfully strong. Always supportive and adventurous. Liz carried her joy for life wherever she went.

    “The world was brighter because she was in it.” Her laughter, warmth, and spirit left an indelible mark on everyone she touched. I love you, my gorgeous Liz. You will always live in my heart.

    Heaps of love ( like you’d say 💗)

  4. Elizabeth ,Peter,Jean and Bernard , have been an integral part of a lives for over 45 years, with Liz being the driving force of of late.
    We are having great difficulty with the thought that we no longer will receive her uplifting messages and phone calls. The thought that she is no longer with us, is very to contemplate and we constantly expect her hear her voice. Our thoughts go out to Peter, Jean, Bernard and the rest of the family.

    A special mention goes out to Peter. Peter you have been a wonderful husband to Liz, Your heartbreaking part we can only but imagine.

    We sent this poem written in the 1800s especially for you.

    “Death Is Nothing At All’
    by Henry Scott-Holland

    Death is nothing at all.
    it does not count,
    I have only slipped away into the next room.
    Nothing has happened.
    Everything remains exactly as it was.
    I am l, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched,
    unchanged.
    Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
    Call me by the old familiar name.
    Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
    Put no difference into your tone.
    Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the littie jokes that we enjoyed
    together.
    Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
    Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow
    upon it.
    Life means all that it ever meant.
    It is the same as it ever was.
    There is an absolute and unbroken continuity.
    What is this death but a negligible accident?
    Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
    I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
    just round the corner.
    All is well.
    Nothing is hurt, nothing is lost.
    One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
    How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

    Love from
    Alan, Judith, Genevieve, Etienne, Juliette, Bevan and William.

  7. Liz, my gorgeous Aunt. I love you so so much and that will never stop. I still can’t believe you are gone. I still keep thinking I must call and tell you something. And then I remember I can’t and my heart breaks again.
    You touched so many lives and have left a giant hole in so many peoples heart. I promise to try and live a life with more love and kindness. You were such an example of that. You love spanned oceans and continents. And now will span even further. I love you my Liz. I miss you .

  8. Dear Peter, Jean and Bernard,
    It was such a privilege to be a part of dear Liz’s Celebration of Life Service today. The woman who I know I would have been knitted in life together with, if we had only had the joy of finding each other earlier. I feel so grateful to have been her close friend in our early life, and our later life. The missing piece was the middle part of our lives. The conversations we had lately were filled with such happiness, and she’s was colourful, enthusiastic and an obvious joy to all who loved her. Thank dear Liz for your postcard. I will treasure it always. Thank you for being my friend – I will love you always.
    Warmest hugs, happy memories and comfort to everyone, especially Jean, Ann and Patricia and her Peter and Sons, and their families.
    With our love,
    Denise and Craig Holding. in Canada 🇨🇦
