God Almighty
Give us the courage we pray, to face the loss of one we have loved so deeply. Looking back through the years when our lives were so close, it seems that part of us has died as well. Help us not to be bitter, but to dwell in the privilege of our intimacy and to thank you for a good life, well and generously lived. Although we can no longer speak, may the inspiration remain with us. We thank you for the comfort of knowing that the bright spirit of Liz
, whom we have loved, is with you
Amen
Know that she is a wonderful addition to heaven! You are in our prayers.

A very smart 9 year old posted a saying in my office one day..."Don't cry because it's over - Smile because it happened" I am going to Smile and remember all the good that happened growing up with Liz Mark and Carrie and think about backyard May Crownings, Nordica Block Parties, Bike Rides to Norridge Park and Playing in the Sandbox.
