I have many fond memories of Mrs. Liu and all of the Liu family from their Atwater Days (summer days at the Liu's playing risk!). Their house was always open to us. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. My condolences to her family.

We are so saddened to hear this news.
Grandma Liu took care of our Isabel when she was an infant and loved her like one of her own children. She made her a special pillow which she still has at age 18! What a wonderful, loving woman. We are grateful to have known her and feel blessed to have shared that special time with her. Our love and prayers go out to all of you. Tim, Laurie & Isabel Ehrich
