    Elizabeth was our neighbor when I was a child, plus a good friend of our family. We will miss her and my sympathies to Frank and Suanne.

    May you find comfort and peace in the precious memories of your wife, mother, and aunt and by trusting and relying on the God of all comfort (Psalm 83:18) who is close to the broken-hearted, saving those who are crushed in spirits.

    Elizabeth was a wonderful, kind, and loving woman. She was a wonderful Christian witness, and I always left from my visits to her with a blessing. Frank and Suanne, you were such beautiful examples of loving husband and daughter in taking such good care of her in the tough times. I look forward to seeing her again someday!

    Dear Family of Ms. Elizabeth Masey, I would like to express my sincerest condolence. I am not able to make it to the funeral as I am studying abroad in Peru for the summer. However, I want to let the family know that Ms. Elizabeth was truly a beautiful woman, and was a great blessing in my life. I am so thankful to God for her life! I will never forget the last words she spoke to me. I visited her a few weeks ago, and as I was leaving, I told her "I love you, Ms. Elizabeth", and as I leaned in to give her one last hug, I could hear her whisper "I love". That is truly what she did. She loved. She loved me and so many others and more than that, she loved Jesus. Whenever I went to visit her, she would always ask me to sing a hymn. As I sang, sometimes she would sing with me, praising God with all her heart. Although she has passed on to be with our Father, the impact she made lives on in my heart and in the hearts of so many others. I will treasure forever in my heart the life of Ms. Elizabeth Masey. Much love, Julia
