Tahsia and Melissa I just recently reconnected with your family on FB I'm so glad I had the opportunity to connect with your mom after all these years. I never forgot all the good memories from when we lived in Germany. God bless you both and I will stay in touch.

Tahsia,

I will be praying for you and your family. I hope that in time you can look back through these entries and read all of the wonderful things people had to say about your mother.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal. May the love that surrounds you today, give you the courage to face tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I first met Liz when she worked at the Williamsburg outlet mall. She always made me laugh and was always there when I needed someone to talk too. We became friends. I remember once as I was working in the mall and she would always stop to either talk or share her breakfast with me. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her. I'll be praying for your family obecause I know what it means to lose especially a mother that loved u dearly. May she forever live in your heart. God bless. Norrise Williams

Liz,
Thank you for being our confidant, mother (when needed) and big sister. You will always have a place in our hearts and we miss you dearly.
With much love and admiration,
Sarah and Karen
