Dear Donna and Family,
I remember seeing Liz at many of your parties at your condo,Julian cabin, and in Denver. She
always had a beautiful smile and something nice
to add to the conversation. When mom had a dinner party, she was always in the kitchen helping to cook and serve plus she was excellent at getting the table cleared.
Her kitty went everywhere with her,even on the
airplane.
She will be missed by her family and her friends.
Love you,Liz!
Clara
