Mom, your family speak of you often, your cooking, art of all kinds, and your love of books are all topics shared with love and remembrance.

Dearest Liz,
You'll never be forgotten. For so many years I had the pleasure of helping you check in the entries for the Special Stars, in the Home Arts building of the California Mid-State Fair. You always had a smile on your face, and a complete list that made it easier for us to get the entries in.

After the fair was over, you made sure to lovingly pick up every single item and return it to it's creator.

I've been close to your sister Alice Dresel for over 18 years. We've come to know her as Grandma Alice. She'd always have me let her know how you were doing.

Rest in Peace dear Liz. You'll be missed but never forgotten.
