"To the family of Elizabeth Lovejoy I will always remember how Aunt Bea, love telling stories of her two girls. And after she passed away the few times I saw Elizabeth, she reminded me so much of her mother, Aunt Bea. Elizabeth did know how to speak her mind. I know she is in a much better place now. I am sorry for you loss. Just know that you have many great memories of her. I know she will be missed very much. Hail Mary full of grace., the Lord is with Thee, Blessed art Thou among women, Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen Let perpetual life shine upon Elizabeth and may her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen All of you will be in my prayers. Mary Schneider"

"Uncle Ron, Bill and Kathy, Andy, Pat:Our loving memories, thoughts and prayers are with you all. I (Susie) always knew Aunt Liz was something special when I met her on one of our first dates when we went to Rochester/Eyota for the day. It was many years later I learned Liz and Ron were Greg's godparents. We will miss her humor, opinions and fun reminiscing. She is at peace.Love and Wonderful MemoriesGreg and Susie"
