    I am so sorry for your loss. Lizzy adopted one of my cats in middle school and that is my only memory of her but a lot of my friends from high school knew her and she was such a sweet and beautiful person. I am praying for justice, healing, and love to your family. Stay strong God has a plan for Lizzy and she will be missed deeply. ❤️

    On behalf of the Ruiz Mendoza family (relatives on the mother’s side) we want to express our pain and condolences to all the relatives and those who knew our dear Lizzy. The death of a loved one is accompanied by pain, denial, sadness and many emotions, which only God gives us the strength and peace we need at this moment. All of us who had the opportunity and honor of knowing our dear Lizzy will remember her as that happy girl, with a great adventurous, kind, respectful and loving spirit. Without a doubt we will miss her too much, but she will always live in our hearts and I know that she will take care of us from heaven. Heaven definitely has one of the most beautiful angels. We will always remember you with a lot of love
    we love you very much our angel

    I am so so so deeply sorry for the of your beautiful Lizzy. Her Funeral was just as beautiful as she was. My heart was absolutely broken when I found out about her passing, I will always remember my beautiful friend, we lost touch over the years because Lizzy went to a different school after 5th grade. I will never forget the memories we shared, she was my best friend when we were younger. I will never forget fun times we had everyday at school and every time we had a sleepover. We shared many mutual friends and still do to this day, She was such a light to everyone she met. Prayers to the whole family during this unimaginable time. Rest in peace beautiful angel, Lizzy.

    I’m so deeply sorry Frank for you and your wife Marjorie over the recent loss of your daughter Lizzy. I only got to see her one time when she was less than a year old. I know she meant the world to you both and it’s going to take a very long time to get over this emotionally. I hope you will find forgiveness in all of this though I know it’s hard I pray the Lord will help you and your family to get through this and that something good will come out of this for you both.God will make sure this situation can end on proper terms.God bless you both.David Welch

  • Dearest Marjorie and Family,
    I was heartbroken to hear about the passing of your daughter. Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your unimaginable loss.
    Your daughter, Lizzy will be deeply missed.

    Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. There is nothing I can say to take away the pain, but I want you to know that I am here for you in whatever way you need, whether it’s a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or help with anything at all.

    With heartfelt condolences,
    Martin Orduna.

    To my dearest Niece who is no doubt in Heaven watching over us all.

    This pain and sorry of losing you in this way will never go away. You got uncle Peter HOOKED on French Bulldogs now as Lola is definitely a little blessing in disguise. I nick named her the “Oinker,Borker,Porker” because she OINKS as she sniffs stuff and sleeps, she can’t quit BARK its more like a BORK and shes has cute pig like qualities and you would have absolutely laughed as i played with her. You will always be uncles Peter’s little Peanut who turned into my Walnut as you got older. Justice will be served our angel. i love you.

    Uncle Peter.

    To anyone who comes across this page please read this.

    I am Lizzy’s uncle Peter and i have a message for ALL DRUNK DRIVERS who dare do this to another family.

    When you drink & drive and end a life, YOU. ARE. A. MURDERER.

    you made the choice to drink, drive and MURDER! it is 100% a choice you make. with all the ride shares and cars services out there, there is negative ZERO reason to be on the road drunk unless your intension is to MURDER.

    RIP to my baby niece Lizzy Zito & her friend Arianna Gamber.

    justice will be served.

    This is cousin Jonathan commenting from the west coast. I just found out about this doing some genealogical research. I’m so sorry this happened, sending love to everyone back east.

    Peter is right. Drunk drivers are should at the very least least be charged with attempted murder. All of them.

    Love you all, I really do miss you dearly.
