Liz I thank God for you.You were truly an angel. Without you My life would have been different. You were my mom and I loved you dearly for you taught me so much. You taught me what a hug was, what iced coffee was, how to laugh. We did many things and the memories are all great. I love you. I cant imagine there being anyone on this earth that can be as great as you. You are an angel. Please God send more angels to earth to help guide others as Liz has done for me.

My dear sister-in-law Liz,
I just came from the flea market where I was looking for you and found out from your dear friends that you passed! I am sooo sad and can't believe that we finally were going to get together to sew and now you are gone like a butterfly. You were a butterfly, so beautiful and full of life and so colorful and bright. I have always loved you and you will be forever in my heart with all our fun memories. Love to you James and I am so very sorry and to all your family. Kathy Hartle-Giffin
