Elizabeth was my first "leader" of my work career. She hired me to work in the Abilene Sears store when I was a mear 16 years of age. She was the kindest person to me. She helped me learn many different departments in my five years there and the importance of being a good employee. Addie Mae Walker was my mother-in-law at the time. I admired her very much. Mike, I don't know if you will remember me from the 50's and 60's. I wanted to express my sympathies to you and the family. May God comfort you all.
