I have very fond memories of Mrs. Gosnell. She and my mother, Melle Wood taught together at Central School and they were both part of the Tuesday Lunch Bunch. I even had the pleasure several times of eating with this group of wonderful ladies. Please know that you are all in my prayers and I am so glad that my path as well as my mother's path did cross with Mrs. Gosnell. My mother passed in 2017 but I know there is a big heavenly rejoicing happening now.

Elizabeth Ann was more like an older sister to me than a cousin. She was the role model I needed. We loved visiting Aunt Annie Mae, the source of many fond, happy memories.

Dear Family,

Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Libby was such a joy to be around and always had such a beautiful smile and attitude. I can only imagine the wonderful time she is having in heaven catching up with so many that she loved. I remember fondly of eating with she and Nell Gunter many times. May you find peace knowing that she is with the Lord and so many others that she loved.

Sincerely,
Tracy Parris
