liz,

I KNOW THAT WE WERE'NT BEST BEST FRIENDS BUT LIZ THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DONT WANNA KNOW WHY.  WHY YOU?  I FELT LIKE I COULD TELL YOU ANYTHING AND YOU ALWAYS HAD AN ANSWER.  SO WHAT NOW?  I STILL HAVE THE MEMORIES.  YOU DANCIN IN THE LEVEL 2 CLASS ROOM.  NO MATTER HOW BAD A MOOD ANYONE WAS IN YOU ALWAYS MADE IT BETTER. I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.  I FEEL FOR YOUR MOMMA AND THE BABY.  I WISH IT IT HADN'T BEEN YOU.  I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU FOREVER.  SOMETIMES I HERE SONGS ON THE RADIO THAT REMIND ME OF YOU AND I JUST LOOK UP AND SMILE.  I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY AND I ALWAYS WILL. I LOVE YA LIZ.  AYDEN IS SO BLESSED TO HAVE A MOM LIKE YOU.  AND IM SURE YOU MOM WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU IN HIS MEMORY.  I STILL DONT THINK I'LL EVER UNDERSTAND WAY AND I SURE IM NOT ALONE.  LIZ YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED.  (WE STILL HAVE YOUR STATION AT SCHOOL).  AND TO KATHY,  YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAUGHTER AND I KNOW I WILL NEVER FORGET HER!

i know i didnt know lizzie but her and ash had a lot in common here is a poem i just thought you guys might like  it is so true if u tie them to ur heart u can never lose them

   Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.   Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you can't get them back. So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

It will be 5 months tomorrow! I think about you atleast 100 times a day, nothing is any easier. Sometimes I can look at pictures and your sites and not cry, so that is an improvement., but everyday I miss you more and more. I just wish that you were here so bad, espically right now... you were the one person that I could tell anything to, I miss that so much! I still talk to you a lot and I know that you are listening I just wish that I could hear what you were thinking. I miss your unique voice lol. I haven't had a dream about you in a while, I wish that I would. I love you!

Hey Lady,

          Just sitting here knowing that you are in a better place. Man we used to have so much fun in Jr. High in Mrs Stclaires class mand she used to get so mad at us we gave her the hardest time. And got in sooooo much trouble. That is the4 class where you came up with the nick name you gave me for you only to call me "Calren O'Shea" Since me middle name and your last name is the same. Well I just thought I would come by here and let you lnow I love you and I hope your family and little boy are doing the best that can be expected! I know they love you.

I came across Lizzie's site this morning while visiting my son's memorial.  How tragic and sad that two young lives ended so soon.  I wish that my heart and soul could provide your family with the words that would touch your own hearts and help them to heal.  The loss of your Lizzie is still so new to each of you; each day brings a different emotion, a sense of anger, denial and helplessness.  It will improve, but for those of us who have been there, and still struggle to find our way back, please just let your hearts lead you in the best direction for each of you.

Our son, Andrew, was 18 when he died of head injuries sustained in an auto accident.  The accident occurred on July 12th, 2005 and Andrew was pronounced on July 16th.  He was an organ donor which has been a blessing for our family.  Please visit his site, when and if you feel that you can.  If you search through the pictures, I posted a picture of Andrew's car, or what was left of it. I never thought it would be humanly possible to visualize anything worse than his Eagle Talon, until I saw the car that Lizzie was in.  What a tragedy.

God Bless....................http://andrew-collins.last-memories.com

hi sweetie, same old stuff since youve been gone, just an emotional train wreck here! i know that you have been visiting all your friends in there dreams lately, you still hadn't come to me. maybe you are protecting me? maybe at this time i can't handle it emotionally? whatever the reason is, i m sure that you have your reasons. 

we have this new life in New York, at least i thought it would be a new life, im glad to be here, esp now since all the fam is here, but i think this move has made me much more emotional, cuz i knew how you felt about it.  your sister will be here in about a week.

lizzie, i wish you were here with your son.  he needs you. its not fair that a young mama was taken, not fair at all!  if i could have taken that accident for you, i would have in a minute.  i hope you know that. 

i love you, you are greatly missed.  everybody loves and misses you. you will always be my lizzie.  always!!!!!

hope you are hanging out with rachel and ashley! give them my love, i talk to their moms thru emails/myspace and their moms are very very sad too.....you 3 need to give us lots and lots of strength!

my lizzie boo, i love you!!!

Every night before I go to bed I lay awake and think about you. Every moment that I spent with you eveything I can imagine I do. I miss you plain and simple. It's not fair that you aren't here anymore. You shoud be here with aayden. I wish it was me and not you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Liz is a beautiful young woman, just like our Ashley, she was taken too soon. I hope that your family and Ashley's can find comfort in all the great memories of these beautiful young women and in the children they left behind.  May God bless you and keep you strong.

Much love and peace,

Mandy Harper
