Dear Don and Nancy,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you and the families. Liz was always effervescent and a joy to be withshe will be greatly missed.
In the scriptures you can find peace:
Is 10:12 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Ps 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
