Well I think Liz would feel we did a grand job of celebrating her life and farewelling her.
Liz was given a very fine send-off:- from her arrival in that beautiful Packard (car), to her departure several hours later. So many people there all wanting to celebrate in Liz’s life. Beautiful words were spoken that took us through numerous aspects of Liz, her achievements, important people and some of her travels – and much more. A service that was so well facilitated by our friend Clare (Brockett) that we were able to be sad but also able to celebrate in Liz’s life. Thank you Clare. We will all move back into our routines and mourn the loss of Liz however let’s not do that for too long – it would not be the ‘Liz way’. Be sad, grieve a little, then move forward. I have so many people to thank and many of you personally – in time I will see to that. However I would like to put out a very general ‘thank you’ to all of you who have supported us both, not just through Liz’s illness and subsequent death, but also through our lives together, all of you who contributed to this magnificent website, all who provided food, foot, face & hand massages, gardening, time-out, ran errands, stayed overnight, kept me company, and generally kept me strong. Thank you so very much. Both Liz & I appreciated every bit of support we received. Love Lynn

Thank you Lynn, and thank you everyone who was present. We all helped make Liz's send-off such a simple, dignified event, with music, laughter, love and tears.

What a special ceremony. I relive it daily at the moment. Thank you Lynn, just for being special, thank you to your sisters for their beautiful haunting singing, thank you Clare, for an amazing job holding a vessel for our grieving and loving, wherever in Liz and Lynn's lives we found a place, thank you Jeanette for your lovely lovely voice. Such a day that I'm sure Liz would have cried and laughed with us all.

Dear Lynn It is with great sadness that we came across Liz's tribute page while on the net. We are shocked and saddened. We often fail to take time to think of those that helped us so much and yet have moved on from our lives. You welcomed us into your personal lives through work contact sharing Waitangi Day celebrations and including us in your greater family. Without your support we would not be where we are today - in Hamilton, loving and caring for each other and our children. Thanks be to you. Love Paul and Janet, Cameron, Hayden and Emma
