I suspect the amount of time that's gone by since beautiful Liz has passed will prevent family from receiving this. I think about her great deal over the years we haven't spoken but for some reason today it was such a heavy weight. Sending years of love to the family and wish I could have one more conversation with her.

Lizzie and I have known each other since 5th grade;  we share a September birthday, and and she used to tease me about being four days older than she was.  We graduated in the same class of 1972 in La Junta, Colorado and I dated her older brother Mark throughout high school.  She would later tease, "Why did you marry my brother? He had stinky socks!"  Liz grew up being teased by four brothers, peeling potatoes every night for her Mom for the family of ten, and doing dishes with her two younger sisters.  She helped raise the baby Joe, but still loved kids enough to have four of her own, including twins.  Liz married a wonderful man named Mirko Vukovich....(don't tell Mirko, but she was not terribly fond of taking that name...)  But she was terribly fond of him! Liz and Mirko would begin hosting the big clan of Driscolls for Thanksgiving every year, with their growing young families..
She was a tremendous hostess, leaving little favors at each place
setting to make us laugh, and gifts for everyone of those little
nieces and nephews!  Liz loved humor..  Particularly, this past year was long and lonely.  Liz had structural issues with knee and hip, and I did too!  She had had lower back surgery, and I probably need it.  We commiserated!!  We also found something to laugh about, nearly every day.  We shared our values, our love for the Lord, for our husbands and families and yes, the particular joy of having  grandchildren!  We  also shared many worries and concerns and many many prayer requests.  Sometimes Liz would burst out in song on the phone!  And you could count on her to leave you a vm with Happy Birthday to you in her beautiful soprano voice.  She loved music and enjoyed her piano and played the mandolin. If we would have
lived closer, we would have enjoyed playing guitar together and singing folk songs from the 70's...I will so miss Lizzie, our talks,
our similar interests and her love.  Sing and dance Lizzie!  
 We all love you!  Your friend forever, Neyla

May God bless your family, as you move through this tremendous loss of a wife, mother, & grandmother. I lived across the street from Liz and Mirko in Ken Caryl with my parents Pat and Rusty, for 3 years with my infant son Riley after a bad divorce. Liz was always so kind and sweet to me, & always had a smile on her face. At your Christmas parties I felt like one of your own family members, and Liz was generous with attention and wonderful conversation. My thoughts of Liz will always be of a generous, happy, glowing, beautiful woman who loved her family with everything she was. Mirko, Jr. wrote a beautiful biography and I was touched looking through all the family photos. I know she is with the angels and in a place where all she knows is joy and lightness.

We remember Liz early on, beautiful young lady with a strong family upbringing. Highest accolades for their parents for raising a family to be so very proud of.  She passed this on, we saw this today at her funeral. Her family honored her in such a special  way. It was beyond awesome!! Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you and may God bless and heal you.

Sitting here in the airport waiting on the plane that will take me to you—where I can no longer deny this is my reality and you are really gone.  Oh how sad I am, but that’s about me. Several times these past days I’ve caught myself smiling in relief to know you are finally at rest. No more demons, no more struggling, no more pain.  Rest in the everlasting arms my precious bestie.  To all the family that loved her so well, you are in my prayers as you begin the process of rebuilding your new “normal”.   May all that was so right, so precious, so dear live on in each of us as we journey on with her presence in our hearts.  

Mirko, MJ and family,
Sending you our warmest thoughts and prayers.   Reflect on the time spent and the memories made.  Take good care and see you soon.

Best regards,
The Billingslea Family (Dave, Shawna, Brayden, Connor)

The Driscoll family was one of the biggest I knew in LJ and they were always inviting to everyone. Growing up their home was a very warm fun place for me and many other kids of all ages.  Can’t count the number of times they included me in family dinner after practices or games. John and Bernita were always so welcoming and it rubbed off on their great kids. Always felt like the more the merrier. Liz was older but I remember her well from TigerSharks swim team. She never judged or looked down at us squirts. She was always sweet and had a great sense of humor and I’ll always remember her for that.  We trust that God holds her close and we have faith that he will comfort her entire extended family with many loving cherished memories. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. 
Love, the Hirsch Family❤️🙏🏻

Liz  and I would talk about how each of us had two boys and two girls and what a blessing it was.  We also shared conversations of God's love for us.

She was loved by so many and truly will be missed!

I miss you so much, Liz! I miss your humor, your kind heart, the way you used to study up and tell us how to vote on the amendments and the fact that you could hear a phone number 1 time and always remember it. I loved how encouraging you were to me and everyone else and the way you were so quick to laugh at yourself.  I am so glad we raised our kids together and so thankful for all the wonderful family times!

Our condolences are with you and your family Nik! May your mother rest in paradise. 

Nik and Suz, I am so saddened to hear of your mom's passing. I can only imagine she was a total rockstar of a human having brought you two gems up. I'm thinking about you all and sending lots of love.

I’m so thankful for Liz and the incredible son, father and husband she raised! She adored her “Niki” and her grand babies.

Nik and Suz and the rest of the Vukovich family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I never met her, but the fact that she raised you two incredible human beings is such a beautiful legacy to have left behind. My heart aches for you, and I'm praying for you two and your family.
Love,
Mike Pacini

I am so saddened by Liz's passing.  I know she will find comfort in the arms of her Savior.  She was a dear lady - always very kind and loving to me - and welcoming.  And, I'm sure I'm not the first to say - her Chocolate Chip Cookies got me to the Broker picnics more than once!  I am sad for your loss of your dear mom, wife, sister, friend, etc...hugs to you all and prayers of comfort.  Susan

This is my sweet Momma, who LOVED her grandkids. I love this picture of her because it shows her deep joy for having them crawl all over her and I think it shows her beauty inside and out. It also makes me feel like a kid again myself, I knew I could always crawl into her lap for a hug and a kiss!

Mirko, MJ and Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss. 

Sending our love and deepest condolences,
