It’s Eric here (Liz’s son).
As many of you know, and I’m so heartbroken to say, my mom passed away yesterday morning. 😞
I miss her so much. It’s been hard, for me and also my dad. I know I’m not alone. I really appreciate everyone who has reached out to check on me during this time. It has helped more than you know. ❤️
I know she touched so many of our lives in so many beautiful ways. And she leaves an incredible legacy.
When news spread of her passing, the outpouring of love and support for my mom from those who love her has been so heartwarming and full of stories, just as I know she would have loved.
Many who knew my mom, as well as many from the SOBcon and GeniusShared community, have suggested doing an informal virtual gathering in her memory. Not a funeral, but something unique, in the spirit of what would make her smile.
Jane Boyd and a few friends of my mom are co-creating this.
If you’d like to join us, we’ve set aside Thursday, September 17, 1–3pm Pacific Time. More will be shared soon here and on social media
Love. ❤️

I just lost my mom and feel your personal pain. Your mom helped me a lot and was a great colleague and had me as her guest at SOBCon Chicago.
Your mom was awesome and remains awesome in our hearts. My profound condolences for your unthinkable loss.

September 11, 2020 at 12:36 PMOh no, I’m so sorry to hear for your loss as well. And it warms my heart to hear my mom touched your life. Am starting to see more of her in myself through this process, and it gives me some moments of peace and gratitude in the midst of the deep sadness.
