Mark and Peter, I was so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember your family moments when we were neighbors on Harmony Road. She was a very busy lady but would always stop and chat with me. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers today and always.

She was my grandmother whom I loved so dearly. We spent many years together and without her I would have been lost. Whenever I get sadness or anger in my heart I remind myself that she is in a better place and is with my grandfather up there in heaven. I miss you dearly grandmom, Rest In Peace. Love, Silvana

I am so very sorry that Liz has left us. She was generous in spirit, love and time. I have fond memories of her teaching us how to play the chimes, working with me on church services and always ready with a smile. I have no doubt that she is now in heaven's choir. You will be missed. Jane

Liz was a wonderful friend and fellow colleague whose absence and lovely spirit will be greatly missed. I will miss Liz's witticisms and her quick sense of humor. The occasional dinners shared with her, Ski, Ron, & Sue or brownie taste testing at my house. Hers was a light that glowed bright. Now she can illuminate the heavens as a star watching over her loved ones! Miss you Liz! 💖

That smile. I will miss that smile. And her hugs. Always asked me to sing for Christmas service - all of them. When StMarks’ contemporary band was in between leaders, she relied on me to lead the melody of all the music we sang; I became the default soloist. Liz loved Bryan’s hugs and his shoulder massages. He’d start to rub her shoulders and her face would just fall and relax. Liz and her chocoholic tendencies. At StMarks, it was Liz and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka. 😉 Liz was caring, supportive, friendly, always happy to see us, musical in any and every way! We will miss this Delaware, Lutheran, musical, StMark’s treasure.

Liz was such a loving and caring person. I still remember the first time I met her and thought a wonderful person. We use to have such great times after choir Patrice back in the 60's. We use to go to Kelly's or Gino's for a burger fries and a shake all for 50 cents. Such great memories of a great person. Rest In Peace my friend. Steve

Liz was a dear friend since Bancroft middle school, through Warner Junior High and then Wilmington High school. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and was a member of our Wilmington High School reunion committee and working faithfully to bring about all of our class reunions. How quickly the years have passed. How rare to have had a friend these many years. Eternal rest grant unto her, oh Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Farewell my friend.

To Liz’s children and grandchildren: I met Liz when we were in high school. We went to different schools but often played piano at the same dancing schools and other community events. Then, we were music majors together at UD. I even had opportunities to accompany her for our student recitals. Everything that people rave over - her singing, her playing piano and organ, her wonderful sense of humor, her graciousness - is true. She was a wonderful young girl who grew into a real lady! After she had retired from teaching in a school, she substituted for me. My husband was ill and had to be taken to UPenn hospital quite frequently. I could leave my high school students with Liz and know that she would provide them with superb music instruction. That gave me peace of mind. Well, the music scene in Delaware has lost one of its brightest lights, but oh how that heavenly choir will welcome Liz! My thoughts and prayers will be with you, her family as you deal with the loss of this great lady. Sincerely, Pauline (Bunny Citro) DeAscanis

My deepest condolences to Pete & Family, I hope that you find comfort in knowing that your mom is in a loving, joyful, peaceful place with our Lord and is now reunited with your dad. She is probably already singing in Heavens choir!

We had such a special friendship. We shared the ups and downs of teaching at Brookside Elementary. We were the best of friends, Susan, the P. E. Teacher, Ski, our librarian, Ron, classroom teacher, myself the art teacher and our Liz, the music teacher. She was the one that bonded us all together with her calm understanding of our life dramas, with her humor, her non-judgemenal ways ...oh and her chocolate. There was always a stash of sweets somewhere. We would come to school early to share a few moments before students arrived and leave late to talk and decompress...to laugh...always laugh. Liz was supportive and listened. She lovingly baked her many plates of cookies at Christmas for so many loved ones. She balanced teaching, church work, the karate studio, caring for her family and friends. She loved her family so much. Lucky me to have had such a friend in my life...love you so much Lizzi...til we meet again...you know we will ...our lives were serendipitious...💕

To the children and grandchildren of Liz Lauber: I have known Liz since our days in the Music Department at the University of Delaware, from 1959 to 1963. We were in many music classes together, sang in concert choir, suffered through many recitals, and were in “Three Penny Opera” (a musical performed by music and theater students). If we were not doing one of the preceding activities, we were enjoying each other’s company. Liz often remarked about how our lives were similar...we both taught elementary music in the Christina School District and played the organ at St. Marks churches (same name, different churches). I shall always remember Liz as always being “upbeat,” friendly, fun-loving and a fine musician. She will be missed by many of her friends. May God bless you at this time. Doreen Woodward Sonchen

I had the pleasure of meeting Liz when I taught 2nd grade at Brookside. She was always cheerful and happy, teaching her love of music to the children. I connected with her at the annual Christmas Bazaar at St. Mark’s after I retired. Of all the specialists I dealt with in my career, she certainly was the kindest. I will think of her fondly. My sympathies to her family.

I grew up in St Mark’s, and even though I now live in California, I always like to reconnect on my frequent visits to Delaware. One of the highlights was being able to chat with Liz after the service. It just won’t be the same without her presence. My condolences to her family, friends, and the St Mark’s community – may you always find comfort in your faith and joy in your memories.
