The Driskill Family... So sorry to hear of Liz's passing, but try and take comfort in the knowledge that she is no longer in pain and that she is at peace. She will never leave you... she has just gone to live in a different Home. When you think of her, smile and remember that she is smiling with all of you always. Rose, be comforted in knowing that you will see her again when the time is right...and keep all those pleasant memories of 'times gone by' close to your heart. Carl, be strong and know that she will always be close to you and to her wonderful loving family...
