Elizabeth shared her joyful and generous spirit with everyone she met. Her easy laugh and sense of humour broke every barrier and quickly made her a soul sister. My sympathy goes out to her family and I will always hold her smile in my heart. 
On behalf of the Vancouver Island Christophers - we send Elizabeth's brand of 'Enthusiasm' to Elizabeth's spirit and to her family!

A lovely aquaintance of mine.  She was always full of fun and I enjoyed watching her interact with my grandson at the Clipper Games.  She will surely be missed by me and my family.  Rest in Peace Elizabeth, and  all the best to Leo and the rest of her family.

Have many fond memories of Liz & Le from days spent in the RCAF. I would have loved to visit Liz but the distance from London,Ont to Nanaimo.BC at best would be a challenge.
Regards, Eric & Maryel Belliveau

Leo and Families. So sorry for your loss. In spirit,may Elizabeth continue to shine in your hearts and minds. She was indeed a very special lady.

I met Elizabeth at the Francophone Association in Nanaimo, while working there many years ago. I was always looking forward to her visit, as her smile was so contagious. The Francophone Association was grateful for her many hours of volunteering, either on the Board, at the Maple Sugar Festival or wherever she thought she could be helpful. She didn't let MS become a priority in her life. Her husband Leo, well known for his fancy mustache, was always at her side. I'm very sorry for your loss Leo. I'm sure it'll be difficult to live without her but remember that she'll be looking over you and will always be in all our hearts. She was a very special person.

So glad to have spent time with Elizabeth , thank you for your shining example  !
