I have been so lucky to have had the pleasure of "My Lady Liz" in my life. I adored her, she was and will continue to be my idol. My thoughts are with you all. I will miss her but think of her everytime I travel or go to the lake, or open a bottle of champange. Here's to you Liz...you did it right. Sending love
