My Dear friend Liz Kirby........
What I remember most is not her sucesses in the business world ( although there are many ) but her love of God and her family especially her 4 sons, Max Kirby, Ian Kirby, Evan Kirby and Sam Kirby. I loved Liz's peaceful easy going manner, always up for an adventure with our kids on family outings especially in the summer . We spent many Sundays after church going to Sandy Beach, going to Roger Williams Zoo and attending church events. I have wonderful memories of these days, Liz's straw beach hat, black bathing suit and the antics of our boys, trapping sea gulls with Ian Kirby and Zac Clark, ,skim boarding and hunting for crabs.
Liz had great faith that God would heal her and in many ways he did, surviving her first cancer diagnosis 24 or so years ago and having 2 more sons.
You will forever be missed and always close to our hearts.
Liz you have no more pain, no more sorrow, no more tears.
XO
