Mike~
I cannot express to you how sorry I am. I had gotten to know Liz over the last couple of years as she volunteered at Aldersgate for the consignment sales. She was a bright light and a kind spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your precious little ones. May God give you peace and comfort at this very difficult time.
