Jim, Jane, John and George - We are so very sorry for your loss and sorry, too, that circumstances prevented us from expressing our thoughts to you in person.

May your own memories sustain you during this time of sadness.

Liz was a great lady and a true friend. We loved her dearly and will always remember our dinners together! How we loved to talk "food"! Some of her favorite recipes are in our family cookbook. We feel blessed to have been in her life. Frank and Penny Dobie

I did not get to know Liz until I started playing bridge at Portage Country Club. She always made me feel at ease and always had her beautiful smile to greet everyone. She will be thoroughly missed. My condolences to her family.
