Richardson, Elizabeth Noelle Elizabeth Noelle Richardson left this life during the same season she came, when we focus on the birth of our Savior. She was born on November 26, 1988 in Kirkland, Washington. She passed away peacefully at home on December 9, 2005, surrounded by her loving family. Elizabeth was born missing most of the grey matter on her brain and with complicated orthopedic problems and was what most people would consider severely disabled. Yet she taught us so much! She taught us about love, strength, resilience and most especially that people with disabilities are not scary, but wonderful. Because of her influence, our family grew in amazing ways. Elizabeth never needed baptism in this life and we know she is now dancing and singing with the other angels in heaven. She loved the songs of the LDS church, especially "Families Can Be Together Forever". She was keenly sensitive to the Spirit and had a direct line to heaven. She was given a grim prognosis at birth and was not expected to live more than a few days, but gifted us with 17 wonderful years. She stayed with us through pain and difficulty over the last several years and has changed us all forever. How we will miss her! She is survived by her parents, Greg and Holly Richardson, brothers Aaron, Michael, Buzaneh, Ashenafe, Joshua, Halofom, Roman, Kerry, Tomas and Ammon and sisters Mira, Alina, Anna Long, Katie, Kristiana, Bethlehem, Rebecca, Rachel and Tereza , special friend Charlotte Deveraux and grandparents Randall and Evelyn Richardson (Smithville, Missouri) and Norman and Sallianne Tree (LDS Geneva, Switzerland mission) . She was preceded in death by sisters Alexandra, Aimee, Jennifer, Maria and Tereza and by brothers Maxim, Alexander, and Nathaniel. Our thanks go out to all of her teachers, bus drivers and aides at Dan Peterson school for all the years of love and care shown to Lizzie and to Dr. Vaughn Johnson, for his care and support.
