Condolence From: Ferris Beck Stone
Condolence: Learning about this horrific tragedy was an absolute shock to me. I didn’t know Liz but a year but we had a connection, almost like we had known each other for years. Kindred Spirits in many ways.
We would chat through messenger or in my Boutique .
Designing and reconfiguring pieces of jewellery, talking about our children, our lives as we seem to have the same sense of values . We would chat about the Manners and morals we instilled in our kids , our love of silver - our health issues .
Everything really .I just can’t imagine the heartbreak this
family is feeling and will feel for a very long time - forever.
My you all find some peace and when you feel that little touch on your shoulder ,known that it is it is she and that with all of Liz’s heart she adored each and everyone of you.
🦋⭐️
My love to all of you,
Ferris Stone

Condolence From: Carol Welsman
Condolence: Dear John,
It's impossible to believe that such a bright and beautiful light has gone out. Liz was an exceptional woman, wife, mother and grandmother. I was in Ontario when I heard the news and was shocked and saddened.
Though I have not seen you much over the years, I fondly remember playing and singing at your beautiful wedding. You both made me feel so welcome. The occasional visit in Muskoka kept us in touch too. But, seeing you both at the Oscar Peterson Jazz Festival in N-O-L last year has now left an indelible memory of beautiful Liz in my mind; her radiant smile and warmth, once again, lit up the room.
I am thinking of you and all your family often, and I'm sending you prayers, peace, condolences and love.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Carol Welsman

Condolence From: Barb and Frank Coster
Condolence: Dear John, Adam and Family,
Words fall short to express our profound condolences in the devastating loss of your beloved Liz. She graced this earth with such extraordinary compassion, God-centered purpose, and incredible wit. To know Liz was to love her. How very blessed we were to call her our friend. Liz’s presence will be so sorely missed but her legacy will live on through each of you. We know she is at peace with her Lord and Saviour but cannot imagine Liz “resting.” Undoubtedly she will be the happiest/busiest guardian angel for the multitudes of people she loved - most especially you, her adored family!
In love and sympathy,
Barb and Frank Coster

Condolence: Our sympathies go out to you John and your entire family. I do not believe we ever met you, and if we did, we apologize for not remembering. However Liz would come into our Fruit Shack Market and she was always a breath of fresh air.
It is so sad to have lost her, but I must say that your words about her and your attitude have lifted my spirits. If we were all more like you and your family, just think what our lives would be like. I am hopeful that your trust in God together with family and friends will sustain you in the next difficult years ahead. God bless all of you.

Condolence From: Louise & Barry Wilding
Condolence: I first met Liz at Parliament Oak School. Our boys were in the same grade. Liz was a woman of prayer and she felt it was very important that we uphold in prayer our boys, the teachers, the staff and the entire school body. We tried to meet once a week and together we walked around the school property and prayed. That created a friendship and even though we didn't see much of each other after our boys went to different schools, we were always happy to see each other when we met. Our deepest, deepest sympathy to you, John & family! God be with you all! Louise & Barry Wilding

Condolence: I just wanted to express my sincerest condolences.

Condolence: Dear John and your whole family. Our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences on your great loss. May God comfort you all with His everlasting Love at this very difficult time.
I remember vividly Liz and you, John praying for me at the altar at Lakemount very powerfully and that Liz always followed up with me the following week encouraging me that God was at work powerfully in my life.
Last week, the morning that I found out about Liz in our church prayer group, I woke up with God speaking these words to me, Set your affections on things above, specifically on God and Heaven. To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord Liz is receiving her amazing eternal reward for such an awesome life lived here. Thank You Liz for blessing my life!!! AMEN!!!
