    Chelsea,Garret,Jen and Gary..I am blessed to have had so many years with your mom, and all of you growing up, and to meet Gary. May you all find peace and strength together to get through such a sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and your families. Marie

  • Heidi Miller says:

    I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife, mother and grandmother. Liz was an amazing woman and I will miss her. I worked with Liz years ago and had the great fortune to run into her a few years ago. She looked sooo happy so I asked her about it. Gary, her face lit up and she told me the story about bumping into you at the grocery store and how you were the love of her life and how incredibly happy she was as she was just beaming.

    I think about that conversation a lot…..and it gives me great comfort that the last years of Liz’s life were her happiest!

    Sincerely,
    Heidi Miller
