Liz,
I will truly miss your smile and positive attitude walking through our office. Your characteristics would make anyone smile on their worst day. I know you have put plenty of smiles on my face. God called you home to be one of his angels. He needed you more than anyone else here on this earth. I know you are watching over your babies. Give them strength to get through this and know that you are always watching over them.

To the Family,
My condolences are with you during this time. Liz was an amazing person. I only had a chance to know her for a short period of time while working with her. She was a woman who had big dreams for her and the kids. But God had a better plan for her. He has accepted a beautiful Angel into his arms. She will be missed dearly.

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

This was a heart breaker for me but I am glad Liz and I had the chance to reconnect as adults in later years. Liz was so full of life and she made all of us around her laugh continuously.

I will miss you dearly old Friend (Rabouin 1992-1995)!

Lady, Jude, her kids, and other family members please lean on God during this time and he will provide comfort for you all!
