Elsie and family,

I was very sad to hear of Aunt Lizzie's passing. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of "going to the country" with Grandma and Granddaddy to visit her, and then listening to their stories of how things were when they were growing up. She was such a sweet person with a genuine and caring soul. She will be truly missed.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Love you all,
Missy
