Elizabeth, we love you and you will truly be missed by all. I have never met such a loving and caring woman. She was always doing something for someone. We had a lot of fun in the lunch room, especially flying pancakes at each other. Elizabeth made a lot of footprints on several people's heart, and we will forever carry her in our heart. There is no doubt she had wings before she left this earth, but God got on of the best this world had. We love you Elizabeth, and we pray God brings comfort to each and every family member and friend. We will see you again someday.

Elizabeth was such an inspiration to so many lives. I always looked forward to Halloween at her house because you never knew if a "ghost" with a mop was going to chase you or a "witch" in a tree was going to spray you with a garden hose. She was a lot of fun, and thank you for the memories. Elizabeth and I got a good laugh out of that on our last visit. She was always doing things for others, that was her happiness. Elizabeth, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. I know God received an Angel, I love you always.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Elizabeth was such a special person. She always made our visits special when we came to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wesley (our grandparents). We came a few weeks ago to thank her personally and tell her how special she was to us. Such a wonderful, thoughtful lady. A great Christian woman that always put others first. I am sure she will continue to watch over her family from heaven. May God Bless each of you.
