You are so right that Tizzie was a rare treasure! I can't imagine Silver Beach without her. She was one of the kindest, dearest people I have ever known and always sent sunshine when she laughed. The Mapps and Beilsmiths will miss her terribly. Our love and prayers to Beth and Becky and their families.
