July 3, 1976
Born in South Weymouth, MA on July 03, 1976. My beautifull baby girl. What a joy to my heart. She went through many tough times but overcame so much.  She had difficult teenage years but what a good heart she always had.  Always so giving and caring about others.
 
July 1, 1979 Here comes little brother
Brother Raymond born in South Weymouth. 
 
January 6, 1997
Gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Maria Lanae who has become just like her mommy.  She has so much of her characteristics it is so weird.  I used to say to Liz, "She is just like you."  And how glad I am of that.  Maria will always remind me of you.
 
April 11, 1999
Another beautiful baby girl.  Olivia Catherine, what an awesome joy and addition to the family.  So happy and carefree. 
 
May 7, 2004, Zion's birth and death in the same day.
Oh Zion Jeremiah, how awesome you would have been.  We were so looking forward to you.  We had all the clothes and toys you would have needed.  Bottles, formula,  a beautiful stroller and carseat.  We were all ready to take you home.
But then it was not to be.  Can you imagine not having the fetal monitor on you when there were problems.  I am sorry I was not more aware of things.  I miss your beautiful face.  You were so beautiful.   
They didn't know what was wrong with Liz.  Said they would do a CT Scan tomorrow.  Can you imagine?  


My dear little precious boy

We had so many clothes and toys

We were so ready for you to come

We had prepared for you a home

The hole in our heart no one will ever replace

Your memories and love we will always embrace

Go, find your brothers and have some fun

Laughing and playing with the one true Son

God will watch over you for sure

So young, so sweet, so precious, so pure

Until we meet where it is higher

We love you so, little Zion Jeremiah

So they finally do a CT scan to find out what is going.  Why Zion died.  Then they say they don't really know but there is a hole in Liz' stomach.  I said we will go to Mass General in Boston.  I am not letting this hospital open her up after they let our baby die.  So we go by ambulance to Mass General and they rush her in and she is in surgery within a half hour.  I am glad that I brought her there because I think she would have died then if I didn't.  After four hours waiting the doctor comes out and says that he had never seen such a big hole in anyones colon.  Three days later we find out a tumor had burst through her colon.  And they told us she had colon cancer.  What a blow to us.  My sister had died at 27 from the same thing.  My daughter at that time was 27. 
 
June 2004 till January 2006
We fought with everything we could.  We  did chemo.  More surgeries when they had found out it had spread to her pelvis.  They removed most of what they could inside, which was a lot.  Then we did radiation.
All through this we were believing for a miracle from God.  We pressed in for this every day.
She was so brave.  Going through this she never complained.  What an inspiration to us all. 
My family helped us so much.  They would come to the house every day so she could home school her kids.  She wanted to teach them herself and I am glad she did this.  She got to spend all that time with them.  And they will remember that forever. 
 
January 31, 2006
We went to the doctor because we thought she might have a blood clot.  I went to work that day and she was fine.  I came home at 1:30 to take her to the doctor for the ultrasound on her leg.  She looked beautiful.  I told her "You look so cute in that pink sweatsuit".  She just smiled.  We talked all the way to the hospital.  I loved her so much.  We were best friends.  We got to the hospital, I put her in a wheelchair because it was hard for her to walk.  She was so weak.  We were doing the ultrasound and I noticed she didn't look that good.  I asked her if she was ok and she said "I'm ok"  She always said she was ok.  They said she did have a blood clot to take her up to the ER to admit her.  By the time I got to the ER her heart rate was 190 and she was very white.  They rushed her into a room and then they came out and told me she way dying.  I couldn't believe it.  All we had been through and a stupid blood clot took her.  I went in and held her.  She was gone so quickly we didn't even say goodbye.  She didn't even know she was dying which is a good thing I guess. 
But my dearest and best friend,  I will miss you so.  I promise to care for your children as you would have until we meet again and I can hold you again.
