In reading the Longwood News today I was stunned to learn about Liz's passing. She was one of my dearest friends in high school and though I've not spoken to her in 40 years I have never forgotten her. Such an incredible sense of humor and such a beauty.
Rest well dear friend.

I just now found out that Liz passed away. We worked together. She was a wonderful person and psychologist. She cared so much about the kids she tested. I´m so sorry. She was just an amazing woman and so much fun. I´m so glad to have known her. My prayers go out to the family. RIP Liz.

My condolences to the Porter family on the loss of their beloved Elizabeth. I met Liz over 20 years ago during our unforgettable year as Psychologist Interns. She was knowledgeable, hardworking with a big heart. If you knew Liz, you knew that family meant the world to her. Rest In peace my friend, you will be dearly missed!

To Chief Ed Porter and the Porter Family: Sending prayers and sympathy in the loss of your loving wife, mother, grandma and
loyal friend to many. She was a wonderful person and had a very great sense of humor! I was privileged to meet her on several occasions and enjoyed my encounters with her! I leave you with this Irish prayer in her memory.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be a;ways at your back
May the sun shine upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again, may God hold you
in the palm of His hand."
With love and prayers, Jan Hull (DenMom55)
