Very few people have touched my life in such a way as my Aunt Liz. She was supportive, thoughtful, and kindhearted to everyone she met. The type of person who was a joy to be around, always full of smiles and love, she will continue to live in my heart. May my cousins and Uncle Len take comfort in knowing she is watching over them. And may the love from those around them help them through this difficult time.
