Liz and Jim were friends and, along with the Edneys, we used to go to Patrick Henry Mall to walk before the stores opened and listen to lectures on staying healthy in the food court. Liz was a faithful member of the Joyful Hearts Choir and always enjoyed going to the various nursing homes to sing and also taking the day trips to DC and other places.

Jim I'm sorry for your mothers passing, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My Grandmother was an exceptional woman. She always carried herself with much dignity. Beautiful and poised, even up until the day of her passing. I admired her and loved her so much. What a beautiful blessing to have her as my Grandmother. She will truly be missed everyday. I do have the comfort of knowing that because of faithfulness in the Lord, she is by his side and rejoicing with many loved ones who preceded before her. I thank the Lord that she lived a long, happy life, full of family and friends. I'm so glad that she is no longer suffering from the complications from her illness. Rejoice, my precious MomMom. I will always love and miss you so.
