I met Liz when I first moved into Christian Manor and found out we both came from Rochester NY. She left Irondequoit and I left Greece right across the river from each other. We would talk about Zweigle hot dogs and Abbotts ice cream. She was a laugh a minute then. We shared our love of cats. Liz was always so up and it was hard to see her go down so fast. She will be missed. My heart goes out to her family. I am very sorry for your loss. Pat Kolupski
