I had the pleasure of knowing Liz over the past few years as a fellow employee of the State Police. Liz was a kind, caring and wonderful person. I know how much she loved her family of whom she talked of so often. Andrea and Christopher, losing a mother is one of the hardest things. Her love will live within your heart forever. I pray that all the love you shared will in some way ease your pain over the coming months. Please know how admired she was by all of her co-workers. She will be deeply missed by all of us who had the honor of knowing and working with her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So very sorry to hear of your loss.Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Dear Family, You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord give you grace and comfort during this time of loss. Love in Christ, Dan and Elaine

My prayers are with Liz and her family. I knew Liz as a licensed private investigator who would have to have his license renewed annually. She was also a phone call away to verify a license status. Every call with her was friendly and she always took the time to assist me with my requests. A great person who will be missed.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom, your Wife, your Sister and all of our friend. Liz was such a beautiful person. I was so very fortunate to have known and worked with Liz here for the past decade. She always, always showed compassion for everyone. So strong, so kind, she never forgot anything, she’d always ask how things were, very thoughtful all the time. Liz would go out of her way to help in whatever way she could. In addition to Liz being a really dedicated and hard worker, she was truly one of the nicest, honest, loyal, caring, giving, lovely and wonderful woman I have ever been so blessed to know. I will miss her so much. She was my co-worker and my friend. I remember even when I wasn’t at work, when I was out on Maternity leave, she would call to see how I was doing, when my daughter was born she went out of her way and sent a special package. When my grandmother passed away, she came all the way to the wake and sat with me. For the little things no one else would think of and for everything else she was, Liz was really the best. Always so easy to talk to and cared about what she was hearing. And, as I am sure you know how much she loved you. During work, she would talk about all of you, all the time, her stories and the expression on her face as she spoke about each of you showed how proud she always is and was of each of you and how much she loves all of you. I will miss Liz so much. God Bless you all.
Liz was one of the nicest people! No matter if I hadn’t seen her in a year, I would still get a warm hug, and it was always great to see her. So positive and kind. She’ll be missed! Andrea, my heart goes out to you. Love, Jeannine
Mike, Andrea and Buddy – and all the Driscoll clan – I’ll always remember Lizzie with a smile. She was an exceptional person who’s life was far too short. Her kindness and love of life was so blatantly obvious every time you saw her. Her stories were always wonderful and I’ll miss that laugh. God bless you all and especially Lizzie.
