Maureen and Family, thinking of you all at this time.
Sending love
The picture captures her spirit to a tee. I loved what you have written here.
Always a sad time when we lose a parent. Thinking of you and sending hugs.
Maureen,
We are genuinely sorry for your loos. Heart-felt condolences to you and family.
Be well.
Love the picture you chose. Hope you’re all doing well. I have some really fun memories of your mom! Thinking about you all.
Just read on your Facebook page. Sincere condolences in the loss of your mother.
A perfect neighbour, a great listener, a wonderful story teller and an avid gardener, Liz was someone we viewed as a a friend. More than anything, Liz was good to our son. She let him run amuck in her lovely backyard and drive his three-wheel up and down the driveway. When he got older, Liz never complained about the basketballs, baseballs and other assorted loudness from the boy next door! We are so sorry for your loss and we will miss Liz dearly. She was loved by the three of us.
Linda, Kevin and Padraig
Thank you Linda and Kevin for looking out for my mom. Good neighbours are a true gift.
Michelle and Maureen, both, Ian and I are so sorry to read about the passing of Liz. The photograph you chose reminds us of the way she looked during her birthday celebration at the Old Mill Restaurant. Our deepest condolences to the family.
