To: Deidre, James, the Sweat and Long family.

Death is nothing at all. Sis. Sweat only slipped away into another room.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

Stay with the Lord, keep the faith and always remember, we will see her again.

It is said that in order to have a friend, one must prove himself to be friendly. It is also said that, when one has found a true friend, he has found a pearl of great value. Lizzy was my friend and a real jewel of a person and I shall miss her so very much. We shall see her again on the other side of through. My heart felt sympathies to Deidre, James and to the rest of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I love you and you can't do nothing about it.
