When I had the honor of serving Ceres Charge of the United Methodist Church, it was a joy to be Lizzie's pastor. Her kind words and sweet nature made visits with her a pleasure, and her faithfulness at Zion was inspiring. May God grant us all comfort as we deal with her passing. She will never be forgotten up on Zion hill.
