Bill, Gary, Bobby, Pete, Robin & Families - we are extremely saddened by the loss of our dear Aunt Liz. What a special woman she was to all of us. She showed her kindness to us in so many ways. From knitting our new babies blankets, to her wonderful smile, we will remember her always. I especially looked forward to seeing her when she came "home" for a visit just to get one of her tight bear hugs...they were my favourite. There is so much to say about such a wonderful woman, but I am afraid that I would run out of space on this email. On behalf of myself, my husband Adam, and my 2 girls Emily & Lauren, we express our deepest sympathy to all of you and know that we are sharing in your grief. God must have been in a need of an Angel because he took a most precious one home with him. Find comfort in knowing she now has joined Uncle Lee, my Papa (Manford), Linda & Linda in Heavan. Just think of the great times they are sharing!
