Where would I start? I loved your Mom like a sister. She would remind me she could be my mother. But, she treated me like a sister, tough when I needed it, loving when I needed it. She loved my family as I loved all of you. My best memory is The Hoot Owl, when my birthday would be celebrated. 2nd was any camping trip. There is no Parkinson's where she is, I know my Mom, Max & Earl were there waiting, wondering what took her so long to join. To all you girls, you loved her well, she was only on loan in your life. I love you all, Lizzy.

I was sad to hear the news. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of our families and all the times we spent together... the camping trips, the motorcycle races, picnics, poker runs and bbq's...and so many more.
Wonderful times with wonderful people, and memories that still make me smile.
Sincerely,
