An "Angel" came to earth one day.
She gave only love then she went away.
Don't ever forget the love she brought- her bright happy smile and the lessons she taught.
It's hard losing someone who gives only love, then goes back to heaven to her Father above.
Remember her always, there's no other way.
Then know in your heart you'll be with her one day, but for now share the love and continue to say, "Thank you GOD, for our Angel who has gone away."

May your memories give you comfort.

For my entire 21 years at RPI, I worked with Elizabeth, and I was so saddened to recently hear of her illness and death. Elizabeth was one of the hardest-working, most dedicated staff members, and her primary concern always was to take care of our students above all else. She was a born leader -- tough when she needed to be, but kind and generous always. She deserved a long, relaxing retirement, which, sadly, she didn't have. She deserved time spent with the family she loved, and to watch her beloved grandchildren grow up. Cheryl, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my own beloved mother to dementia last year, and I know how deeply you must be grieving for your mother. What I pray will comfort you and others who knew and loved Elizabeth in the days, weeks, and months to come are the many cherished memories of happy times together. Those precious memories will be carried in your heart always, and I hope you will continue to feel her love and strength, even though she is no longer physically with you. May that love you shared with her outlast the grieving. Elizabeth will be missed by so many whose lives she impacted. That she touched the hearts of so many is her powerful and lasting legacy.
