Thinking of you all at this time, and wishing comfort for you now, and in the years ahead. I will always have fond memories of one of my favorite chem lab partners.

Hi John,
We just arrived home yesterday, and am sorry that we were not at the service. If there is anything that we can do to help you and the Family, please let me know.
When I came to north East in 1961 to teach at NEHS, You and Liz were two of the loves of my life: You were both great students, kind, sensitive, interested in learning and wonderful to be around. I was and am grateful for the times that we all shared, and am greatly saddened for the early loss of Liz. You and Liz were kindred spirits who were made for each other; and who had many wonderful years together....Many, many, people are not that fortunate.
If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know, and I will be there,,,,,Love to All,, Wayne Hill

Dear John,
When I came to North East to teach at NEHS in 1961, two of the best, loving, kind, sensitive, and caring students I have were You, and MY Liz. I have loved you both for many years.
We arrived back in town this afternoon to find your loss. There is nothing to say to you that would be of much comfort, except that Mary Liz loved you very much, and that alone will see you through....as she would want. If there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know......Much love, Wayne And Ann Hill

We wanted to share our condolences with the Schiedel family. It is never easy to have to say goodbye to a loved one. The pain of loss can be unbearable. Our Creator promises us that one day this pain will be just a memory. That beautiful promise can be found at Revelation 21:3,4. Our pain and suffering will be a thing of the past, and we can cry tears of joy as we welcome back the ones that we love so much. We hope you find comfort in those promises.

To Mary Liz' family;
I know your hearts are broken beyond understanding and reason. I wish you peace and healing in the days and years ahead.
I had not seen Mary Liz since our high school graduation in June 1965. But old friends are the best friends and she was still my good friend in my mind and memory. I grieve losing her.
Good bye, Mary Liz, my friend.

Dear Liz - I will miss you. You were my first friend. I guess I've known you longer than anyone else on earth. We were introduced as infants when my parents (already fast friends with yours) built our house next door, or rather through the woods from you. Over the years we beat quite a path through those woods back and forth to each others home. As the only "little kids" in Cara Cove we had frequent "play dates" before that term became popular. I remember spending hours with you building fairy homes in the woods out of moss and twigs, then hunting for treasures on Blueberry Island, our own little patch of shoreline on the river. In later years we would ride bikes up and down the lane, swerving on the gravel and letting the wind blow our hair. Regrettably we didn't see each other much after we grew up and married and moved our separate ways. But I always looked forward to your humorous card each Christmas - your writing skills were exemplary. Last time I saw you was June 2011 at Cara Roney's wedding party and it was if no time had passed. That such an occasion will never again occur saddens me.
To John and Gail and extended family - my deepest condolences. There will never be another one like my friend Liz. Love, Sayre

It was shocking and deeply saddening to hear of Liz’s passing. Many memories flood my mind. Like those crazy days in the 60’s – when Ricky McD., Liz and I would jump into his boat and ski up and down the North East River for hours on end. Actually, they would ski like Cypress Gardens’ professionals and I would spend hours trying just to get up on those damn sticks. But they were sweet and patient and eventually, I prevailed. (Kinda)
Liz amazed me with her vast knowledge of so many things – many of which, truthfully I had never given thought. One conversation, in particular was how Cecil County was the perfect climate for growing bamboo. She pontificated on the benefits of growing bamboo. She said it was sustainable. I admit I nodded knowingly… and needed to check Webster’s on that word… but I never forgot the meaning afterward. (Always the educator, she was.) I mean - I ask you, how many 19 year olds even cared about the environment in 1967? Liz did!
Nearly forty years later, she and John became my landlords… I was so lucky to spend nearly 10 years looking over the magnificent North East River – in that tiny little house just feet away from the shore line. I was grateful.
As anyone can see from the pictures in this memoriam, Liz was a very beautiful young lady. But so much of that beauty was demonstrated by her dear sweet heart, her inquisitive nature, her undying passion and most of all her caring nature. She loved her work as an educator. She loved her students. Liz opened many “worlds of knowledge” to me. I know she opened the universe to so very many students at Cecil Community College. We all walked away the better for knowing her.
Even from her new home in the sky above, looking over the North East River, she loved – I anticipate her lovingly marking up this humble but sincere rambling- in red pen, with suggestions and critically important writing rules… In fact dear Liz, it is expected. Thank you and rest well.

So sorry to hear of her passing. I have many fond memories of Cara Cove when we were much younger. Condolences to all her family. May God Bless each and everyone. The class of '65 just got a smaller.
