One more thing. On more than one occasion when Liz and I talked about end of life, she said that because she had no heirs she was going to donate her estate to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). I don’t know if she got around to putting that in her will, but because she felt so strongly about that cause, I’ve made a contribution to the ASPCA in honor of her memory. https://www.aspca.org/

For the Vanderpool sisters, Pamela, Barbara, and Stacey, it was an honor to meet you. My heart goes out to each of you because losing your sister so suddenly had to be hard. Pamela, thank you for taking care of the Liz’s final arrangements. Barbara, I remember you and thank you for caring so much for and about our Lizzie. Stacey, your appreciation for Liz’s legacy touched me deeply. The name Elizabeth Vanderpool is a good and respected name. In a lot of ways, I see her in you. Circumstances prevented me from attending the memorial and I regret it. Once when Liz and I talked of such things, Liz said that no one would cry at her funeral, and I told that she was wrong and I’m sure I was because she was loved. I wasn’t at the funeral, but if I am an indication there were plenty of tears because I have yet to stop crying. Condolences to you and your families – Be strong – Liz was.

Elizabeth Vanderpool was my friend. She was intelligent, kind, generous, sincere, and loving. There are far too many fond and treasured memories of our times together to express here. Losing Liz so soon and so unexpectedly, tore a rift in my heart. Someday soon her earthly body will be interned with our brothers and sisters in Arlington, but the love that was Liz is also buried deep in that rift in my heart. If you ever want to say hello to Liz talk to me, she will always be here in my heart. I loved Elizabeth Vanderpool and I will think about, talk about, and miss her forever.

Sorry for the loss of your dear love one. May you find comfort in God’s promise to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8

Oh I should be crying but I just can’t let it go
I should be hoping but I can’t stop
Thinking and thinking and thinking
Of all the things we should’ve said that we never said
And all the things we should have done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things I should have given but I didn’t
Oh darling make it go…Just make it go away

I should’ve showed you
Better nights, better times
Better days, I miss you more and more
If I can’t have you
Let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around
