Liz wil be missed, she had a shining personality and always strived to help others. She had a passion for nursing and always provided excellent care to her patients. She really loved her daughters Celina and Brianna because she always talked about them. You were a valuable worker and friend and I will miss the talks we had about life.

Elizabeth was a sweet person and very caring. She loved her children and talked about them all the time. She always said kind words or something good about someone. She wouldn't talk bad about anyone she and was always trying to help out someone. She would always say she
would pray for you. She was one of the best nurses here at General Hospital very compassionate and caring for our patients. She was just meant to be a nurse and I'm so glad that General Hospital had the chance to have such a good nurse. Someone came up to my desk
this morning and said "Man, Elizabeth was a darn good nurse!" and we
are going to miss that good nurse.

I have only know Liz less than a year, but she always was glad to see me at work, always said thank you, and ALWAYS put her patient's first. She thanked me one day for sharing a little bit about my life with her.....how many people do that anymore?? She will be missed.

Our family knew Elizabeth through her daughter Brianna, who has been a very close friend of my granddaughter for several years. We have taken turns chauffeuring the girls to concerts and other events, but it was always Elizabeth who took them shopping and treated them to eating out at nice restaurants. My granddaughter LOVED going with Elizabeth and Briana. She always had a wonderful, fun time with them. I know my granddaughter is hurting deeply right now. She loved Elizabeth almost as much as she loves Bri. Elizabeth was generous and kind, giving not just of her resources but of herself, one of those people who made you feel better just for having spent a few minutes with her. Whenever we talked on the phone, it was always hard for me to hang up, as I so enjoyed talking to her. We had a lot in common, with both of us in the nursing profession and sharing similar views on life and parenting and "stuff." I know she loved Bri with all her heart. That was apparent in every conversation. At this difficult time of sorrow and hurt, as well as in the years ahead when their mother's absence will be felt in so many ways, I hope Bri and her sister will find comfort in knowing their mother loved them beyond all measure.

I worked with Liz for 10 years in ICU. We shared our problems and dreams with each other. She was always willing to give a hand with your patients when needed. Lizzie if you can hear us Out-there, we love you and you will be missed. Godspeed. JIM.

Liz is the definition of grace and I will sadly miss her presence at The General. I've known Liz for many years and she's always had kind words and a smile for everyone.

Liz was truly an inspiration to me! We were the same age and shared so many similarities. She was a very strong, determined, loving and admirable person to have endured and withstood some of the heartaches and "pressure of life" she conquered. Even though we are never fully prepared for events of this nature, we should all learn from it. Live as if tomorrow will never come...."Live, Love and Laugh". May we all embrace each other, our family, and friends allowing her gentleness and kindness to "live on" by shining through us. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

Liz was one of the few people I knew that never had anything bad to say about other people. There was not a mean bone in her body. She was always caring and considerate. If she knew of anything that concerned you or your family member, she would ask if everything was ok each time she seen you. This world need many more Elizabeth Barkalow's and maybe there would not be so much hating and war going on. Liz will be missed for a long time to come, but she will always hold a place in my heart. Sincerely, Gaynell

Okay, I wanna say that Bri was what i considered my BEST friend at one point of my life. She is an amazing person and never once has she looked down upon me or my family. We had fun doing just about anything. When I heard about this tragic accident, I thought back to all the memories I had with both Bri and Elizabeth. I remember the concerts she took me to. All the random places we would eat. She always wanted to spend money on us and didn't say a word about it. She dropped Bri and I off at Shoney's one day and went home for something and forgot about us! I also remember homecoming our sophmore year, she took us to the tater shack and sat in the parking lot the whole time we were inside eating. Never once did she rush us or get onto us. I remember the incident at Opry Mills Mall and all Ms.Liz had to say was, "Teenagers make mistakes." I never once saw her get on to Bri or Call her out or tell her what she did wrong. She was truly a WONDERFUL person.

Liz, was a wonderful person, there are no words to express the kindness she shared with out even saying a word. Her smile will be forever engraved in the hearts of many at Nashvile General Hospital. As it we know that our Father God needed her more than we do. My prayers are with the family in your time of loss.

My mom, Elizabeth, was the most caring woman I've ever known. Not only did I get rave reviews about my dear mommy as a nurse, but I give her a 10/10 as a mom. She never once was impatient with me for more than a second. It's one thing to lose your temper, but it's another thing to forget about three seconds later instead of keeping a grudge. She always did that. After every conversation, she would never let me forget that she loved me. I'm glad she reminded me so often. I knew if I was feeling down about some stupid teenager problem and felt like no one loved me, my mom would never hesitate to tell me otherwise and give me a cuddly hug. It's hard to lose my mom at sixteen. I didn't get enough time with her. I will miss her so much. But I know she is everyone's prayers and that she is in a better place.
I love you, Mommy. Forever and Always.

To the Family and other Guest of Elizabeth Barkalow
I knew Elizabeth as one of her Nursing Supervisors but I also knew her on a more personal level. Elizabeth knew that I was a Minister of the Gospel and she would frequently call and talk to me about life. I remember how I would share the Word of God with her and that I gave her a New Believer's Bible of which she talked alot about. Elizabeth was so caring and she never wanted you to go out of your way for her. Today, as I write in your guest book I am reminded of how much God loves us. The Word of God tells us that He has left us His peace and that He has gone ahead to prepare a place for us. He loves you and will comfort you in this time of your life and in this time of pain. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, ....." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

Elizabeth Maria Jones and I were best friends in seventh grade at Cumberland Trace Elementary School in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She spent many, many days and nights with my family and me, and we always had so much fun. She was one of the funniest people I've ever met! And she was always drawing amazing little pictures (often during class). Seventh grade was the only year we went to school together. I moved to another school in Bowling Green the next year, and then out of state the next. We exchanged letters (great letters!) for a few years, but then we lost touch. I've never forgotten my good friend, though, and I'm sorry that we never got to meet as adults. I would have loved that! My sincerest condolences to her mother and children.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, I just got the news today from my brother in Kentucky. Ms. Johannah, I pray that God will give you the courage and strength to see you through the days ahead. It's been many years since we last saw one another but I feel as though I lost a member of my own family. God bless you all!
