To Elizabeth's Family -
What a pleasure to have known Elizabeth! She shared many of her books with me - especially the mysteries - we loved them. Elizabeth (Lizzie to all of you - which I still can't believe!) was a believer in simple pleasures and I will miss sharing that with her. She and I also loved the Coldwater Creek catalogues that arrived each month and would say "Let's get this, and this, and this". And what a bridge player! I never played but somehow she made it sound like great fun and a challenge. She loved her nieces and nephew and she loved talking about them. These are some memories that I will always have of Elizabeth.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
Love, Lana
