Our sympathy to the family. She was "Gramma Liz" to so many people who knew and loved her. We were out of town and not able to stop in to say our good-byes.

I lived next to Liz for many years in NFDL as a teenager and then again as an adult. She was like an adoptive grandmother to my little sister and then to my daughter. She was an amazing woman. I feel very proud to have known her.
Our Prayers are with you!
