I chose several songs that spoke to how beautiful Elizabeth was in her short life.

I hold many childhood memories dear from growing up as Elizabeth's cousin. We grew up in New Jersey. Our family left New Jersey for sunny Southern California in June 1969. I have holiday memories of Elizabeth playing the piano for our grandfather and other family at Uncle Charles & Aunt Barbara's house in Demarest, New Jersey. I played the flute. We would give a mini concert :) Such nice memories visiting each other at either our Ogdensburg, New Jersey home or their Demarest, New Jersey home. Our families spent Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas together. We shared a wonderful grandmother, Nanny Rose Orlando. Elizabeth's father Charles and my mother Joan are brother snd sister. Elizabeth was especially close to her Aunt Joan. Elizabeth's mother, Barbara, was my Godmother. Her parents helped me throughout my life as I dealt with many challenges in my life. Elizabeth was the most courageous, good -hearted person I have ever met in my entire life ! She was an excellent wife and mother. She made so many good memories with her family because of her long illness. Every opportunity to travel and stay very involved in her family's life was taken. I am so glad she was able to be there for her daughters and husband. God was good to her and let her stay here on Earth so she could mske a difference in my life and many others. I am determined to live my life to the fullest now, to celebrate each and everyday, to carry on in her honor because she won't have that option any longer. I wish peace to Michael, Alex and Victoria as they move forward with their lives. I hope just knowing how much Elizabeth touched each and every person whose lives were made all the richer for having met her. :^)
