Carol Seiken wrote a sympathy message

“I am so saddened to hear of Liz's passing...we were close childhood friends who met in elementary school at P.S. 152 in Brooklyn. She lived just a block away on Bedford Ave. and I often went over to play. I remember her Mom and her little brother, Joey. Her older sister, JoAnn, came to my apt. to babysit a few times. I was so happy to reunite with Liz on FB in 2017. We spoke at length by phone, and kept in touch online. I send my deepest condolences, Liz, to your loving family. With love, Carol”
