Laura’s 9pm Saturday update
Moving forward, I may not update daily but tonight I will.
Friends and family were in full support all day. We slept in, ate breakfast casserole prepared by friends, and when my UGA friends arrived with doughnuts, we hopped on the Scout for an adventure with Bryan as our guide. We boated across the inlet, trampled over amputated starfish, trekked over tiny sand crabs, and ran through a mosquito-infested jungle in an attempt to reach the Atlantic. After 30 minutes and countless bites, even my friend dressed in long sleeves and pants (with platform wedges 😂) was ready to turn back. We raced back to the boat where our less-adventurous friend waited with water and bug spray. Omg, how Liza must’ve laughed at us!
While we were licking our wounds by tracking dolphins, Jack and Elli handled distributing leftover medical goods to help local senior and veteran care facilities. Then in the late afternoon, we sorted through many thoughtful gifts delivered to Liza at the hospital.
Our day wound down with dinner and an evening storm until the sunset provided the backdrop for an impromptu photo shoot. Now we’re nestled in for the evening with the Prince of Tides.
Tonight we thank God, the Universe, Edie, and Liza for good friends, family, small moments, and big adventures. And I pray for a sign that Liza is dancing and singing triumphantly and ask for peace for all who may be suffering,
❤️🏝️🌈 🐬🙏

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Liza with all of us. We fell in love with her in the last 6 weeks. I felt a connection to Liza since my mother passed away from the same type of brain tumor 15 1/2 years ago. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers. I grew up near Asheville and have many friends there.
Damn. I have been following your story from Az. I am in absolute awe of the grace, dignity and humor you have shared. All while I’m sure your heart was ..and continues to shatter. Your words are beautiful and we are just so sorry for your loss. Love and light from Arizona.
Our family is thinking of you all. As someone said, the grace you have shown through this is amazing Laura. It’s apparent how much love you have surrounding you as well. Hugs to you and Jack and sending you love and strength from here. ❤️
Laura, you have a beautiful gift of being present in the moment and making the best of a situation that would have drowned most of us. Your Liza is a rare jewel of a person who made others feel JOY and LOVE. I wish I had known her, but the messages from her army of friends have said so much about the tpye of person she was. Bill and I will continue our prayers for your family as you celebrate Liza's new life. Heaven just got a big ray of sunshine. Sending much love, Kathy Southerland

I am so very sorry for your loss. I thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter, Liza with us. She will be with you always. When you see a rainbow that is Liza showing you the indescribable beauty of heaven. When you feel the air that is Liza wrapping her arms around you in unconditional never ending love. When you see a butterfly that is your precious Liza showing you how happy and free she is. Liza is all around you in every beautiful moment from now until you are reunited in heaven with her again.
Sending love and prayers to your family. Thank you for sharing this beautiful sweet soul with me . Her and I went to High school together 💞 & it was always great vibes around her , she always made sure I was okay when I was around her & stayed smiling. Always had that beautiful smile on her face 🫶🏽! Love you Liza
