In her short life, Elizabeth traveled extensively to faraway places like St. Martin, Maine, Florida, New York, California, Arizona, Minnesota, and Michigan. She participated in Special Olympics, rode horses, and loved to swim, boat, and water-tube.

So sorry for your loss...it is so difficult to lose a child. Remember and cherish every memory, good or bad. She will be 'with' you every day.

I loved Miss Elizabeth so much. I'm going to miss her smile and her pushing my face away from her when she's watching Elmo. Don't mess with her Elmo! She is going to be greatly missed but I am happy that there will be no more suffering for her. Markjon & Jacki - you are amazing parents and provided her with a great life. Thinking of you all always.

My daughter Violet had the joy of attending preschool with Elizabeth in her last year with Ms. Kim. Violet adored Elizabeth and loved playing with her. I also loved seeing her fancy hairbows and light up wheels. She will be greatly missed at Walnut Hills. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. God bless!

Dear Jacki and Markjon,
We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to spend a few days in Elizabeth's company before her passing. We were and continue to be warmed by her gentle presence, and humbled by the boundless love, strength, and grace with which you cared for her. We take comfort in knowing that Elizabeth is free from pain and limitation, and that her life was full of laughter, kindness, and love. Someone in New York loves you, and always will.

Markjon, Jacki, & Maura: I can think of no words to express our sympathy for your family's loss. We know you will have beautiful memories of Elizabeth - you provided many wonderful things for her to enjoy her life - the most important of which was your love and devotion; while at the same time doing everything possible to make her life as joyous and comfortable as possible. Our prayer is that you will feel comfort in knowing Elizabeth is in Great Hands now. Our most sincere wishes and prayers for you: that you will all be strengthened and find a peace that surpasses all earthly understanding - and that when you think of her it will be with smiles and laughter at the joyous times you were able to share together.
