Connie, Greg & Karen,

Gary & I will truly miss Aunt Liz. The casino trips, all the birthday parties, Holiday Gatherings, pitty-pat games, will never be the same without her. She loved to laugh and loved to dance. Just last Christmas, my kids had her bowling on the wii game on our TV. She enjoyed that!
We all loved Aunt Liz and are so sad that she is gone, but we all know she is with Uncle Jack and is happy.
Stay strong and know we love you guys, too
Gina & Gary
p.s. GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!
