Dearly Beloved,
We gather here today to honor and celebrate the life of Elizabeth Brooke Thompson, a woman whose existence was nothing short of a miracle. Born against all odds, defying the expectations of medical science, Elizabeth graced this world with her radiant presence.
As I stand here today and attempt to encapsulate Elizabeth's extraordinary essence, the words of John 14:1-3 come to mind:
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, that you also may be where I am."

Elizabeth's life was an embodiment of these comforting words. She lived with a humble understanding that a greater force had provided her existence. And even though she was shy, she shone brightly in any room she entered. Elizabeth had an unwavering love for her family and friends, as well as the animals she adored, especially her beloved dogs.
Despite her modest demeanor, Elizabeth was proactive in helping others, always extending a hand to classmates and colleagues in need of assistance. Her kindness was abundant, her intellect and ingenuity unassuming but ever present.
A woman of exceptional beauty both inside and out, Elizabeth's presence was nothing short of inspirational. Her elegance and compassion, effortlessly drawing people to her in admiration and adoration. We were all blessed to know and share life's journey with her.
Elizabeth's indomitable spirit resonated as she relished adventurous outings, whether attending concerts or taking a simple, scenic drive. Her love for life was unequivocal and unbounded, generating a positive energy within everyone who crossed her path.
Though today we gather to mourn the loss of our beloved Elizabeth, we must remember that she now resides in a heavenly domain, prepared specially for her by Lord, and that she will forever be watching over us.
It is with profound respect and admiration, we cherish her memory and fervently express our gratitude for having had the privilege of knowing her, loving her, and being loved by her.
As we bid farewell to Elizabeth Brooke Thompson, let us remember the words of John Donne: "One short sleep past, we wake eternally. And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die."
Thank you, Elizabeth, for your time with us on earth. May you now watch over us and guide us, as we continue journeying through the realm that will one day reunite us with you.
Rest in peace, dear Elizabeth. Amen.
